Business volunteering with the Skills Bank

Amplify your impact with volunteering

Your business already demonstrates exceptional commitment to community impact through your fund with the Foundation.

Now, you can take that commitment further with our Skills Bank – a service that connects your team’s expertise directly with local causes that can achieve even more with your help.

Charities across Cambridgeshire face increasing financial and operational pressures. Your team’s time and expertise could be pivotal in helping them to overcome operational hurdles, upskill teams or support other essential projects.

Why choose the Skills Bank over direct charity partnerships?

De-risked volunteering

Every charity who benefits from the Skills Bank has undergone our rigorous due diligence process.

You can volunteer with complete confidence, knowing these organisations are well-governed, impactful, and aligned with your values.

Guaranteed equity and fairness

Unlike some charity partnerships that may favour well-connected organisations, our Skills Bank ensures opportunities are available for any local charity to apply for.
