Employee Supported Volunteering

Fulham FC Foundation has been running a highly successful and innovative Community Champions Volunteering programme since 2008.

We can work with your organisation no matter how big or small to support you implementing an Employee Volunteering Scheme.

We will support your organisation to engage your staff in meaningful, rewarding and exciting volunteer opportunities and not all of them involve Football or Sport.  

Employee supported volunteering has so many benefits to your organisation; it is a very simple concept with so many rewards:  

  • Increased staff morale, performance and retention
  • Improves relationships with the local community
  • Staff development – teamwork, communications skills, customer focus and confidence
  • Brand and Reputation benefits
  • Increases customers goodwill and loyalty
  • Understand the workforce of your future

Our menu of volunteering opportunities includes: 

  • Coaching sport – football, basketball, dance, tennis, multi sport and more
  • Educational work in schools
  • Disability coaching and educational work
  • Mentoring young people
  • Event support

All of these types of opportunities can be working with different groups in the community, including: 

  • Hard to reach boys and girls
  • Children and young people in school
  • Holiday programmes
  • Offenders and ex-offenders
  • Young people disengaged in education
  • Disabled young people and adults
  • Older people

We ask for a minimum commitment of 8 hours over a 3 month period. These opportunities are for groups of employees only rather than individuals. If you are responsible for your organisation's Corporate Social Responsibility, please contact us today to discuss on: 0870 442 5432.
