Volunteer funding for hours worked

For every hour I volunteer my employer will pay an hourly amount straight to the charity I’ve supported. I provide details of the charity, the volunteer hours completed and the money is sent. This takes no time to complete and send in.

Match funding

For every pound I raise for a charity my employer will match it (up to a certain value). For me, it will be a cycling Etape this year around Loch Ness in April.

Community support funding

My employer makes grants available to charitable projects and initiatives in the community. There are certain conditions and requirements that need to be met, however, they are not insurmountable. For example, pointing out the benefit of changing the lives of thousands of Scottish Children’s literacy skills as part of the Sean Connery Initiative was met with positive success.

I wonder if others in the Financial Services Industry or larger companies could also access funding opportunities in their organisations and similarly “pass the buck” to Dyslexia Scotland?
