Is Your Volunteering Programme Actually Helping Anyone?

The allowance exists. The intentions are good. So why doesn't anyone show up?
About this Event

Corporate volunteers are happy, participation is climbing, hours are being logged, and the photos look great. But beneath the numbers sits an awkward question: is any of this making a real difference?
At the next GivingForum, we're asking it out loud. Do the charities we support actually value the help we send them — or do they quietly absorb the cost of hosting us? Are we measuring impact, or just activity? And when a programme exists mainly to drive employee engagement, is that a problem — or is it fine, as long as we're honest about it and everyone benefits?
Join us for a candid conversation about what separates volunteering that transforms from volunteering that just occupies an afternoon. Expect uncomfortable questions, real examples and practical ways to find out whether your volunteering is helping anyone — and what to do if the answer is no.
Whether you run a programme, sponsor one, or are building one from scratch, you'll leave with a sharper view of what impact really looks like — and the awkward questions worth asking back at your desk.
