How much does corporate volunteering cost?

There is a small administration charge for organised volunteering days with Keech.  Prices vary according to the size of your organisations from £25 – £45 per head.

As a charity, we need to ensure that we are always working in a way which is sustainable and cost effective.

The fee associated with a Corporate Volunteering day covers the cost of our staff time and planning. From Corporate Partnerships and hospice teams who facilitate our Corporate Volunteering Programme, to our grounds teams who coordinate volunteering teams on the day, to our Catering team who will ensure that all our corporate volunteers are well looked after.

The fee also covers the cost of catering (where applicable), the purchase and maintenance of required equipment, materials, and enough PPE for volunteer teams, to ensure that teams can carry out their activities safely and comfortably.
