This story is from Link UP London, who support small charities in London – hear from a number of people about their volunteering experiences!

At Link UP London, we’re dedicated to supporting small charities and groups all across London. We believe in the power of talented individuals to make a difference in their communities. While these individuals do amazing work, sometimes they need extra help with strategy, marketing, or grants. That’s where Skilled Volunteering comes in. It provides expertise to overstretched organisations. For eight years, we’ve matched organisations with Skilled Volunteers to bring their projects to life. Our volunteers say Skilled Volunteering helps them develop professional skills, leadership abilities, and expand their network. They also enjoy personal benefits like increased confidence, contributing to the community, and making new friends. Here’s what some of our skilled volunteers have to say about their experiences working with Link UP and the charities we connect them with: Fabia shares, “Participating in Skilled Volunteering through Link UP for the second time was another amazing experience. I’ve had the chance to meet truly wonderful people doing important work that makes a real difference in the community.” Heidi adds, “Volunteering through Link UP is an excellent way to give back to your local community. I felt supported, empowered, and useful throughout my project. It not only allowed me to enhance my consultancy skills but also enabled me to make a meaningful difference. I would recommend it to anyone looking to expand their network, develop valuable leadership skills, and create positive change.” Sybil reflects, “I thoroughly enjoyed the Skilled Volunteering project. It gave me the opportunity to tackle new challenges while honing my skills. Thanks to Link UP London for facilitating the connection!” Abbie shares her first-time volunteering experience, saying, “Navigating conversations and providing a framework for writing their first social media strategy was a rewarding experience. We had some fantastic discussions that prompted them to consider their desired outcomes and how to move forward in a practical way.” If you’re interested in using your professional skills to make a difference, reach out to us today.
