Further information
All of our employees in Exeter receive one day each year to volunteer. Please indicate what volunteering opportunities you could offer teams of up to 20 people? The more diverse and creative the opportunity (projects), the more interesting to our employees.
Please note, we do not ask staff to do coin collections (i.e. at a supermarket with a collection tin), but are looking for projects where we can encourage teamwork amongst our employees and help your organisation really make a difference.
Please note, even if you are unsuccessful as our CotY, we would be delighted to volunteer with you, so please email [email protected] with any opportunities as and when you need help throughout the year.
