About Link UP London
At Link UP London we build stronger more resilient communities. By connecting small Social Good Organisations or SGOs (i.e. charities, Community Interest Companies, community groups and social enterprises) with Skilled Volunteers, we help these organisations access the skills they need, when they need them, to address strategic and operational development issues and build capacity and resources. Our Skilled Volunteers have a range of professional backgrounds (HR, finance, comms, marketing, legal, data, IT and many more) and want to apply their skills and expertise to make a positive difference in London. This means that the organisations are better equipped to tackle the multiple challenges of inequality facing their communities and the Skilled Volunteers have a meaningful volunteer experience that fits into busy schedules.
We connect skills to SGOs in 3 main ways main including:
- Skilled Volunteering Projects: Short-term, structured volunteering engagements.
- Social Impact Solutions: Our corporate programme provides structured skills-based employee volunteering opportunities in a range of formats.
- Events: Including Lunch & Learn Sessions – 10 one-hour webinars that allow professionals with limited time to share their expertise on topics of relevance to SGO capacity development - 2 in-person workshops and 3 community gatherings.
