Skills Exchange Campaign

Campaign need and opportunity

The voluntary, community and social enterprise sector contributes £11.8 billion to the UK economy.

The sector could deliver more economic and societal value with the use of skilled volunteers, helping charities and communities become more sustainable and investment ready.

The Minister of Civil Society invited key charity, broker and business stakeholders to explore ways to build a campaign to encourage businesses to increase and engage with skills exchange with the charity sector. Media Trust is leading on the development of the communications for the campaign.
