Involve Swindon is a network of companies, statutory bodies and voluntary organisations working together to encourage employees to give their time and develop their skills through volunteering in the local community. Employee volunteering creates a partnership between the private, statutory and voluntary sectors which provides mutual benefits. Supporting employee volunteering can help employers achieve their business objectives and fulfil their corporate social responsibilities. Each year we work with over 150 organisations from the coporate, statutory and voluntary sectors and over 500 employees give their time and skills to the local community. Each year in May and November, we bring together uo to 80 representativesof local employers and voluntary groups for a networking event to exchange experiences of employer supported volunteering.
