Link UP London’s purpose is to build stronger more resilient communities.  We do this by connecting small Social Good Organisations or SGOs (i.e. charities, Community Interest Companies, community groups and social enterprises) with Skilled Volunteers, helping these organisations to address strategic and operational development issues and build capacity and resources to better tackle the multiple challenges facing their communities. Link UP connects these organisations to Skilled Volunteers from a range of professional backgrounds (HR, finance, comms, marketing, legal, data, IT and many more) who have faced many of these strategic and organisational challenges before and want to apply their skills and knowledge to support their community.

We connect skills to SGOs in 3 main ways including:

• Skilled Volunteering Projects: Short-term, structured volunteering engagements
• Social Impact Solutions: Our corporate programme provides structured skills-based employee volunteering opportunities in a range of formats
• Lunch & Learn Sessions: one-hour webinars allow professionals with limited time to share their expertise on topics of relevance to SGO capacity development

Our Skilled Volunteering programme has been a core service of Link UP since its founding in 2016 and is at the heart and soul of our work. We work in all 32 boroughs and the city of London to help organisations to better address poverty, inequality, and marginalisation.  We have ambitious plans to continue to deepen our connections across boroughs, reach even more organisations and volunteers, to build stronger communities by harnessing professional skills for social good.
