Company mission
To make volunteering more flexible and accessible and help volunteering programs deliver more impact.

Our take
Volunteero’s volunteerting app makes it quick and easy for would-be volunteers to find charities to help, while its charity facing platform allows them to manage volunteers, and track metrics to gain insight on their programmes.
This offers a solution to two major problems that charities and volunteers face. For the former, a lack of human power and resources to actually bring volunteers into the fold, and for the latter, difficulty in finding volunteering work that suits their skills and schedule.
Volunteero launched in 2020 with the help of a UK government grant, and has been steadily refining its tech stack while building partnerships with charities throughout the country, but especially in Greater London.
For the time being, the startup’s main area of focus is to bring even more charities onto its platform, which should in turn increase the appeal of its app to the public.

The product has a simply-designed, lightweight but elegant front-end that manages to do an awful lot (and helps charities get rid of the 'dreaded spreadsheet')

I joined Volunteero, as the mission to make volunteering more accessible for people and supporting charities manage their volunteers in one I am passionate about. Speaking to charities everyday and hearing how Volunteero has changed their way of working for them and their volunteers makes everything worthwhile. I love how it saves them money, time and most of all volunteers are getting the best experience.

At Volunteero, we have brainstorming time with the team where all ideas are put forward and Ash the co-founder let's us roll with the idea. I also feel that I can approach them with anything big or small and I know that they will be open and honest back to me. They are very humble and always listening to feedback and ideas

I have a kid, and it's been so easy at Volunteero to manage being a parent! I leave the office early to get home in time to do bedtime and can work from home when I need to and make the time work for me.
