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.
Our annual CentriCity Awards celebrate the outstanding contribution
that City Corporation volunteers make to the local
communities. Each applicant or nominee could be awarded up to
£500 for their chosen community organisation. If you work for
a community organisation or school and would like to nominate a
City of London Corporation volunteer, please
