Charting a path between charities and volunteers with financial skills
It’s estimated that only 10% of UK finance professionals volunteer their skills to charities each year
Our goal is ambitious — to increase this to 50% giving 2 days a year to skills-based volunteering
How are we doing this?
Inspire
Inspire more finance professionals to volunteer their time and skills with charities
Connect
