How to tap into the power of skilled volunteers
It’s #VolunteersWeek and we’re chatting to Kim Perlow, founder and CEO of Link UP London
It’s Volunteers Week so we wanted to find out how charities and corporates alike can benefit from skilled volunteering programmes.
Kim Perlow is the founder and CEO of Link UP London an organisation that harnesses professional skills for social good through skilled volunteering. Link UP, which started in 2016, is committed to building stronger communities and offering meaningful volunteer opportunities by connecting skilled professionals with charitable organisations, in areas such as legal, finance, human resources, communications, marketing, data, strategy, organisational development and more.
We chat to Kim about volunteering trends, how smart use of volunteering is helping charity leaders to take a step back from delivery to think about strategy and how the way that corporates and charities partner on volunteering initiatives is changing.
Zoe and Paul share another update on what’s going on with AI following the statement from the Center for AI Safety.
Link UP London would love to hear from anyone interested in volunteering their skills in a meaningful way with London based community organisations or engaging their company in a skilled volunteering event or programme.
