York is packed to the brim with incredible people willing to go the extra mile to make our city a better place. Whether it’s helping offset our impact on the planet, helping older and younger people connect, or offering professional help to those less fortunate, there are thousands of people in our community who work hard every day to make a difference, and plenty of businesses willing to support them make it happen. However, it can be a bit of a struggle for those businesses, amongst all their other responsibilities, to organise and find the right volunteering opportunities for their staff. That’s where York Cares come in.
They’re a charity dedicated to “making York a better place” by forming a bridge between eager employers and the volunteering projects that make the most difference. York Cares form partnerships with the city’s leading employers. They then match the interests, skills, and expertise of each volunteering employee to the right projects around the city. Putting the volunteers in the exact place where their work will have the largest impact on our community.
York Cares manager, Holly Hennell, said, “York Cares harnesses the power of collaboration, bringing businesses, employees and communities together to make York a better place. We empower employees to support their communities through our programmes, creating a positive impact for both the employees and the community. Our programmes deliver tangible benefits for local people and to employers in terms of workforce development, employee wellbeing and community engagement.”
