TimeGivers was born from a realisation that the young of today deeply benefit from volunteering opportunities but cannot access them. Schools recognise the importance but don’t have the resources. The community organisations would welcome young volunteers but cannot connect with them. TimeGivers fills this gap. We are at the forefront of making community service a cornerstone of primary and secondary education and are embedding it into the school curriculum so that all children and young people can volunteer and reap the benefits. 

 

Through our school partnerships, we empower the young generation to voice the changes they wish to see in their communities through student-led initiatives. TimeGivers then forges partnerships with surrounding charities and organises events (with the support of Adult Volunteers) where children and young people can actively enact that change.

​

Our commitment extends to collecting both qualitative and quantitative data, which allows us to measure the positive impact of volunteering experiences on children and young people, as well as the communities they are impacting. This data also contributes to broader and long-term research studies in this area.
