The City of London Corporation leads by example, so as part of its
commitment to Corporate Community Involvement it established its
own employee volunteering programme in 2002. The programme is
linked to the City Corporation’s core values of working in
partnership with its neighbours to reduce levels of deprivation and
social exclusion encountered in many of the surrounding
boroughs.
All staff are entitled to take 14 hours of working time each year
to get involved in approved volunteering activities such as
mentoring school pupils, sharing business skills with charity
partners and becoming a school governor. Staff are also
encouraged to use volunteering as a learning and development tool
to help achieve key competencies as demonstrated in
appraisals.
