How can company volunteers help us?

Do you have a to-do list as long as your arm or a wish list of things you would like to do at your organisation, if only you had the time? Maybe you have a garden to be cleared or indoor spaces that are a bit shabby. Perhaps you have a business challenge or need advice from someone with professional expertise. If so, employee volunteers may be able to help!

If you’d like to chat about how employee volunteers might support your community group or organisation email Terri O’Brien at [email protected].
