Corporate volunteering

Corporate Volunteering is when employers actively encourage and support their employees to volunteer by providing paid time off for community or charitable activities.


Some organisations may also choose to organise a corporate volunteering day, where a team of employees dedicates one or two days to volunteering their skills for a selected charity. These projects are often designed to be impactful for the charity while also fostering teamwork and collaboration within the organisation. Occasionally, a nominal fee may apply to cover resources and administrative costs.


The Spark a Change platform makes it easy for you and your employees to discover meaningful volunteering opportunities and track your collective impact, all from your organisation’s dedicated page.


Getting started is quick and straightforward:


  1. Register your organisation and create your personalised page.
  2. Once approved, add teams and individual members.
  3. Your employees can then browse and apply for opportunities—either individually or as a group—and log their volunteering hours.
