VCO Challenges

Employee Volunteering is when company employees offer their time and expertise for the benefit of local voluntary and community groups during work time with the support of their employer. Volunteering is promoted, encouraged and recognised by the company. 

The Basingstoke Employees in the Community Network was launched in May 2007 to promote Employee Volunteering. Numerous local companies and voluntary groups have signed up to the initiative, which matches Employee Volunteers with organisations that need their help. The Network enables local voluntary and community groups to benefit from the skills, expertise and practical assistance available to them on a voluntary basis from local companies. 

For Voluntary/Community Organisations:

Employee Volunteers can make a real difference to voluntary organisations by helping them to accomplish tasks which they do not have the resources to achieve. In addition access to a range of business skills and potential sponsorship can create the additional capacity and infrastructure support to make a real difference to the work that they do, often with the most vulnerable in society. Benefits include:

  • Cost savings
  • Improved facilities or services
  • Acquiring new business skills
  • Raising local awareness of the work done by voluntary groups
  • Recruitment of regular volunteers and Trustees
  • Building long-term relationships with local companies
