CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING
Supporting Families, Changing Lives
MAKE YOUR TEAM BUILDING DAY DELIVER A REAL DIFFERENCE
Take some time away from your desk!
Not only does corporate volunteering help to provide services desperately needed to support local families in hardship but it also boosts employee engagement, teamwork and morale.
Benefits of Corporate Volunteering for you:
As a result of volunteering our corporate groups tell us they have enjoyed:
-
Improved employee retention
-
Pride in where they work
-
Increased employee empowerment
-
Stronger, more connected teams
-
Happier, healthier staff
-
A cultivated sense of purpose
As we have a small team at First Days, a group of energetic volunteers can literally quadruple our workforce for a day! We always have projects we’d like to do or need extra support to fast-track, some examples are:
-
Setting up our school uniform 'shop', Christmas Presence events, supporting changes to our services and prepping for our seasonal events
-
Building shelves, decorating, moving stock, relaying stockroom or warehouse space helping us improve our services
-
Sorting donations and stock or making deliveries to our families
We kindly ask for a financial contribution of £50pp, which goes towards supervisory staffing costs and helps support our work.*
* The fee for volunteering days may be waived if your company has committed to raising funds for us which equal double the cost of the volunteering day, or where you have provided donations, goods or services in kind, or, for example, we are your company’s Charity of the Year.
Bring your team and we'll use your energy and skills to help the families we support.
