By connecting employees to their ideal volunteering opportunities through their unique digital search and match technology. And how volunteering can not only make an impact but make you feel even better than going to the gym. How do you embed volunteering into your culture? Caroline shares how Social Good Connect can help you do this by setting clear goals and practical ideas to build this culture and encourage staff engagement. It is about starting with "small simple things but doing them consistently."

Zahra shares the importance and the difference between team building days and volunteering. Understanding what charities need and how you can have influence beyond planting a garden or painting a room. She also shares advice on how best to prepare for tender responses - don't leave it to the last minute! Move beyond social value for the sake of tenders. It is about understanding what the charities need FIRST. Then when you come to write a social value response you are already doing great stuff that has a real impact for you to draw upon.
