Modernising VolunteeringWorking at a national level, the Modernising Volunteering workstream
is funded by Capacitybuilders through the National Support Services
programme. It aims to develop the skills and performance of people
and organisations supporting locally based social enterprises, charities
and voluntary groups. Resources, information and learning gathered
and developed by the Modernising Volunteering workstream are
shared with support providers through the Improving Support website,
magazine and e-bulletin. To nd out more, visit:

The Nationwide Foundation is a registered charity (number 1065552)
which makes grants to other UK charities. The Foundation chose to
fund Volunteering England for this project to discover why businesses
and charities, which have so much to offer one another for mutual gain,did not access these benets as much as they could, and what could
be done to forge greater links.
The Nationwide Foundations principle benefactor is Nationwide
Building Society. To nd out more about the work of the Nationwide

About Employer Supported Volunteering
Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) is the term used byVolunteering England to describe all forms of volunteering carried
out by employees which are supported by their employer.
This can take the form of employers freeing up time for employees
to do their own volunteering, as well as formal ESV programmes.
History of Employer Supported Volunteering
Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) has grown steadily in the UKover the last few decades. During the 1990s, hundreds of companies
became involved in ESV schemes, although at this time most of these
were major national private sector employers.
Over the last decade, ESV has become a central feature of many
corporate community partnerships. It has also become much more
widespread across public sector employers and small to medium
enterprises.
The majority of early ESV was based on challenge activity where
a group of employees worked together to undertake a specic task
for a charity or community group, generally a practical project such
as painting or decorating. Challenges are sometimes portrayed
negatively; however, when they are well-managed and undertaken as
a partnership between the charity and the employer, challenges canbring huge benet and added value to organisations. This is particularly
true for charitable organisations with responsibility for maintaining open
spaces, play areas and community buildings.
Although challenges continue to be of benet and can serve as
a valuable introduction to volunteering and lead to longer term
volunteering relationships, there has been a gradual growth in skills-
based volunteering partnerships.

About skills-based Employer Supported Volunteering
Skills-based Employer Supported Volunteering (SBESV) describes
employers supporting their staff to volunteer their time and professional
talents, or wider skills, to support charities and community groups.
A highly skilled workforce is key to the success of a business, and
SBESV provides worthwhile opportunities for employees to engage
their skills for the benet of others as well as developing new skillswhich they can take back to their workplace. Charities and community
groups benet from the valuable expertise of employees which builds
capacity and increases service delivery as well as developing
relationships across the sectors.
There are a wide range of SBESV roles that employee volunteers can
participate in, from mentoring and trusteeship to IT support and
fundraising. Employees can give anything from a few hours to help runa one-off activity such as a workshop on nance or CV writing
through to a regular weekly/monthly commitment or a longer placement
as a volunteer secondee.

Employer Supported Volunteering and corporatesocial responsibility
For many employers, Employer Supported Volunteering lies within
a wider programme of corporate social responsibility. This work
usually covers a range of areas, including environment and
sustainability, diversity in the workplace and community engagement,
with Employer Supported Volunteering at the heart of the community
engagement strategy.

Employer Supported Volunteering
landscape and trends
The 2007 national survey of volunteering and charitable giving, HelpingOut, shows that 36% of employees in England worked for an employer
who offered an Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) scheme,1 a
gure that increased from 16% in 1997.2
The size of the employer does make a difference: the Helping Out
survey found that larger companies (with over 250 staff) are more likely
to have an ESV scheme available than medium-sized enterprises (with
between 51 and 249 staff) or small companies (with 50 staff or less).
This was 47% of companies, compared with 20% and 14% respectively.3
In the public sector, Employer Supported Volunteering has attracted
attention on various occasions, including in 2002 when paid
volunteering leave was introduced in central Government departments,
and during the Year of the Volunteer in 2005. In a 2009 review of
Employer Supported Volunteering in the Civil Service, BaronessNeuberger recommended that all civil servants should be given up to
ve days off per year to volunteer.4

Employer Supported Volunteering and staff skills development
Employers are increasingly
recognising that supporting their
employees to volunteer is not only
a cost-effective way to meet their
corporate social responsibility
objectives, but also a good way
to develop staff skills and improve
motivation, alongside more
formal training.
Skills-based activities, such as
mentoring, volunteering as a
trustee or school governor or
planning and delivering a skills-sharing workshop, offer clear and
identiable opportunities to learn
and develop in a different arena.
Pro-bono activities, in which
volunteers engage their day-to-day
professional skills such as project
management, law and accountancy,offer yet more opportunities to link
ESV with skills development in
new or unfamiliar environments.
A sign of the shift in emphasis
towards linking Employer Supported
Volunteering with skills development
is the increasing number of
employers that are positioning
responsibility for ESV within
Human Resources or Learning &
Development teams as well as, or
instead of, within Corporate Social
Responsibility teams.

Employer Supported Volunteering and the Big Society
The changing political landscape presents opportunities for promoting
Employer Supported Volunteering as a way of connecting communities.
Some key points from the Big Society agenda include plans to:
Lead by example, transforming the civil service into a civicserviceby encouraging civil servants to volunteer and participate
in social action projects
Launch an annualBig Society Dayto celebrate the work ofneighbourhood groups and encourage more people to take part in
social action
Empower communities to come together to address local issues.
There is clearly scope for all involved to monitor how ESV can
contribute to these areas as the Big Society concept continuesto develop.

Skills-based Employer Supported
Volunteering the business case
Why should employers engage in skills-based EmployerSupported Volunteering?
The benets of skills-based
volunteering to employers are
signicant and participation is
especially relevant in the context
of the current economic climate.
Skills-based volunteering can
provide a greater return on
investment than team challenges
and arguably deliver greater and
more sustainable impacts to the
community.
One of the key benets identiedis the personal development
opportunities for employees,
potentially saving money on
corporate training programmes in
the short term, and leading to an
up-skilled workforce, greater
employee satisfaction, higherretention rates and increased
morale in the longer term.6
It can also provide organisations
with a cost-effective method of
meeting corporate social
responsibilities and help to
develop an enhanced reputation
and increased prole in the
community. This can lead to longer
term impacts like security in the
local economy and building
bridges between businesses and
the community they operate in.
As a representative of 25,000small and medium-sized rms
across the UK, the Forum of
Private Business (FPB) wholly
recommends volunteering
It doesnt have to cost much,
but the benets for both the
businesses and theirrespective communities can
be signicant.

Why should charities and community groups engage in skills-basedEmployer Supported Volunteering?
The key benets for organisations
that take on skills-based employer
supported volunteers are access
to professional skills and services
which they would otherwise be
unable to afford, support to develop
infrastructure, improved capacity
and increased service delivery.
The development of longer-term
partnerships with employers
could also lead to further
opportunities to gain support, aswell as raising awareness of the
work of the charity among
employees. Charities and
community groups can also
benet from a new perspective on
the issues they face.
Skills-based roles can include:
Running skills workshops
IT support
Treasurer/accountancy
Project management
PR and marketing
TrusteeshipHR
Mentoring
Business planning.
The benets [of involving
employer supported volunteers]
are exposure to a more
commercially-oriented way of
thinking, and mainly gettingstuff done that you cant afford
to resource for.

Why should employers work more closely with local volunteeringinfrastructure organisations?
Research by Corporate Citizenship7 shows that the majority of
employers generally nd opportunities for skills-based volunteers
through three main channels: working with existing volunteer involving
organisation (VIO) partners, using specialist brokers and making direct
approaches to VIOs.
The use of existing VIO partners to source skills-based opportunities
has great benets, such as knowledge of the organisation and its cause
and a well-established relationship. However, there are also signicant
opportunities to be exploited if an employer widens its range of partners
beyond existing relationships.
Local infrastructure organisations are ideally placed to broker effective
Employer Supported Volunteering. As a hub for local charities andcommunity organisations, they have an ear to the ground and are up to
date with real community issues. Their combination of local knowledge,
contacts and volunteering expertise is ideal to source opportunities for
employer supported volunteers which make a real difference and meet
genuine need.

About Employer Supported
Volunteering brokerage
The term Employer Supported Volunteering brokerage refers tothe process whereby the skills, time and talents of employees are
matched with the needs of community organisations through sourcing
volunteering opportunities. Brokers work in a variety of ways, from
providing one-off activities through to developing comprehensive
volunteering programmes.

Top tips for engaging employers
1. Research the local business landscape and build a business database.
2. Do your homework. Before approaching employers, search their
websites to look for evidence of involvement in corporate social
responsibility or Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV), or
commitment to charitable causes.
3. Keep your active prospect list of employers up to date, reectinglocal economic and political developments.
4. Always keep your word. Agree actions and dates and stick to them;
make deadlines realistic and build in room for unexpected eventualities.
5. Ask for referrals. There is nothing more powerful than a
recommendation from someone a potential new business knows
or respects.
Top tips for engaging charities and community groups
1. Explain what skills-based ESV is and the multiple benets to their
organisation, the community and the volunteers.
2. Clarify your role as a broker and what this entails.
3. Manage expectations from the outset. Explain the process ofengaging and recruiting volunteers and that there is no guarantee
that you will be able to nd suitable volunteers to help them.
4. Assess their capacity to provide support and management to
volunteers and explain what would be required of them.
5. Discuss how skills-based volunteers could support their organisation
and jointly develop appropriate roles.

Overview of the Modernising Volunteering National SupportServices programme
In year one, Volunteering England commissioned Corporate Citizenship
to undertake research into existing levels of skills-based Employer
Supported Volunteering (SBESV) across the country. Research
demonstrated the substantial benets of skills-based volunteering to
both employers and volunteer involving organisations (VIOs). However,
it found that the majority of activity was conned to large employers and
VIOs, and mostly in London. Research ndings and recommendations
are documented in the report Forging Sustainable Partnerships
between Businesses and Communities.8
Acting on the research ndings and recommendations from the year
one report, years two and three of the programme have seen a high
level of activity in planning, recruiting and setting up three SBESV pilotbrokerage services. The pilots were based at Darlington, Exeter and
Oxfordshire Volunteer Centres, within their respective CVS, and
funded from July 2009 September 2010.
Dedicated Local Business Partnership Coordinators were recruited at
each of the three Volunteer Centres. They manage the work locally and
are supported by an experienced national team, led by Volunteering
England and with mentoring support from Time & Talents forWestminster at Volunteer Centre Westminster.

About the Time & Talents Network
The Time & Talents Network has been created to provide a common
brand and identity for the new SBESV pilot brokerage schemes. This
sits alongside their regional operating names: Time to InVOLve in
Darlington, Time & Talents Network Exeter and InVOLve in Oxfordshire.
The Time & Talents Network engages employers positively with the
community through the brokerage of innovative and sustainablevolunteering partnerships. It works by matching the skills and expertise
of employees with the needs of charities and community organisations.
Time & Talents Network pricing model
A pricing model has been developed for use across the three pilot
projects. Employer members are charged an annual fee to join the
schemes based on their number of employees. The membership fees
contribute towards the cost of funding the schemes.

With the Modernising Volunteering programme now in year three,the Time & Talents Network pilot projects are well underway. Here,
we outline some of their key achievements so far.
Time & Talents Network
key achievements
Why should employers work more closely with local volunteeringinfrastructure organisations?
In March 2010, senior managers
and staff from the Express & Echo
and SAV Media volunteered their
time and talents to provide amedia skills workshop set up by
Time & Talents Network Exeter.
The workshop was developed as
a response to numerous requests
from local charitable and
community organisations that
were keen to develop skills tohelp them to raise their prole
in the media.
TV presenter Mark Tyler and
Paul Nero from SAV Media
gave presentations and practical
interview techniques for broadcast
media while Andrew Howard,
Deputy Editor of the Express &Echo, talked about printed media
and gave practical advice on
writing press releases.
Eleven charities were able to
benet from expert advice and
training on the day, and its
success has led to requests for
more similar events.
The afternoon was highly
effective, with excellent
practical tips and skills which
we can all take away and use.

Employees give time to create healthy eating allotment forlocal school
In June 2010, time to inVOLve
Darlington celebrated national
Volunteers Week by organising
an educational gardening event,
bringing employers and voluntary
and community organisations
together to build an allotment for
a local school.
The school is located in the centre
of a busy town and some pupils do
not have access to a garden so
the allotment provided the wholeschool with an opportunity to learn
about sustainable and healthy
food sources. It has also proved to
be an exciting ongoing task for the
schools gardening club.
The project was planned by
Groundwork Northeast, with help
from pupils and teachers. time to
inVOLve then helped to involve
employers within the town,
encouraging them to offer the
professional and wider life skills
of their employees to bring the
allotment to life.
The Department for Education and
the Darlington College Agricultural
Department took part on the dayand nancial support was offered
by Darlington Borough Council
and Durham and Darlington NHS.
The day was a great success with
27 people taking part overall.
Plans have already been put in
place for Darlington College toreturn to the school and use their
skills to construct a greenhouse.

Learnings since 1996
Back in 1996, ve employers
decided that they wanted to work
in partnership with Volunteer
Centre Westminster to ensure that
their volunteering projects would
be both sustainable and strategic.
Before that, volunteering had been
on an ad-hoc basis, primarily
around Christmas and summer
challenges. There was a desire to
link up and pay greater attention to
local needs. The key learnings
remain as important today as they
were at the very beginning:
Charging and shared
responsibility: Each employer
takes a shared responsibility for
the Time & Talents for Westminster
partnership. By paying an annual
contribution to fund the small staff
team, there is a commitment to
and investment in addressing local
issues together.
Co-creation: The best projects
are usually those that have been
developed jointly, where all sides
have listened to one another andhave created something new
around specic needs and wants.
Partnership ethos; leading &
learning together: Partners meet
regularly at events and forums to
openly discuss challenges, what
has worked well, case studies andtoolkits. This has resulted in a rich
peer-learning environment where
everyone learns more quickly.

and practical advice offered
by Volunteering England and
my colleagues across the
