About Link UP London and Social Impact Solutions

There has been exciting growth in Link UP London’s corporate programme, Social Impact Solutions, in the past year and, in 2024, we delivered bespoke skilled volunteering engagements for staff from Amazon UK, Boston Consulting Group, Smart DCC and King’s Cross/Related Argent. Social Impact Solutions is continuing to grow, and we are looking to bring someone in who can play an integral part of its delivery and development.

Link UP London works to build stronger communities. Since 2016 we have done 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 issues, build capacity and better tackle the multiple complex challenges facing their communities. Link UP connects these organisations to the abundance of talent that exists in and around our capital city.

Launched in early 2023 and building on our Skilled Volunteering model, Social Impact Solutions enables corporate skills-based employee volunteering. Each structured engagement provides corporate employees with direct ways to provide concrete support to community causes and drive social impact, while building leadership, wellbeing and job satisfaction that translates back into the workplace. A range of corporate group volunteering engagement options, fully facilitated by Link UP London, are offered from just a few hours to projects lasting several months. These include:

• Flash Consulting advice clinics (2-hours),
• Marathon Days (4-6 hours) and
• Our flagship Be the Change Programme (a multi-month engagement).

Our new Corporate Programme Manager will be responsible for ensuring that Link UP Social Impact Solutions corporate engagements are effective in their goal of delivering high quality, meaningful volunteer experience as well as valuable and relevant support to the charities that participate.

We expect there to be delivery of 10+ Social Impact Solutions corporate engagements across 2025, building the groundwork for ongoing future growth. Social Impact Solutions is a critical part of Link UP’s overall strategy for growth in the coming years and can learn more about it here.
