Our corporate volunteer days at our Edinburgh and Glasgow social enterprises offer hands-on opportunities for staff to make a positive social and environmental impact. We need volunteers Monday-Friday to keep our services running, so your support is vital, never tokenistic, and makes a real impact.

Barratt Homes staff rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in at our Move On Wood Recycling workshop in Edinburgh.

The team had a busy day helping our social enterprise maneuver and prepare reclaimed timber to be upcycled into furniture.

Graeme from Barratt Homes said “We all had a really enjoyable day and would welcome the opportunity for some other members of the team to come along and volunteer.”

Zurich staff have volunteered in our FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland warehouse on several occasions.

The teams support our social enterprise to distribute food to charities and community groups, including food banks, hostels, older people’s lunch clubs, and schools.

Rory from Zurich said “I’m always a bit nervous helping out as it can sometimes feel like ‘the corporates’ coming in to tick a box, but it genuinely did not feel like that and everyone seemed grateful for the help and we left thinking we had actually helped.”

Zurich have also donated safety boots, gloves, and hi-vis vests for our young trainees.

Many of our corporate partners offer employability support to our young trainees, including delivering skills workshops; hosting mock interviews; offering work experience or apprenticeships; or donating the cost of interview clothing.

BAE Systems donated 40 free places on their Workreadiness Course for some of our young people in Glasgow.

Delivered at Glasgow Science Centre, the course covered everything from CVs to interviews and assessment tests.

BAE Systems have also donated the cost of interview clothing for several of our young people.

CCG (Scotland) have supported young people on our Building Brighter Futures course by providing site tours and Careers in Construction presentations. 

This has given our young people the opportunity to see a site up-close, as well as the chance to speak to site managers about the different trades available, a typical working day, and hear from staff themselves about how they got into their roles.

The company have also generously provided work experience placements for some of our young people.

As the cost-of-living crisis forces more and more people to reach out for support, while competition for funding has never been more difficult, fundraising events mean more than ever before. Whether you need help brainstorming creative ideas or tips for online fundraising, our dedicated team can help you smash your target.
