Voluntary Action Reigate & Banstead (VARB)’s Post

The climate emergency affects us all and one of the most powerful ways business can make a difference is through skilled volunteering. ✨ In our survey last year, we estimated that 100,000 skilled “climate volunteers” are needed to accelerate environmental action in the UK. 🌍 That's where Pilotlight comes in. 💡 We bring together teams of skilled volunteers to solve real-world challenges that environmental charities face. Your employees work together to develop ideas and solutions for the charity to take forward, developing their own skills in the process. See how partnering with us can amplify your net zero action. ➡️https://bit.ly/40Ca0W7

If you’re part of a charity, research shows that the people you serve are likely to be impacted most by climate change and nature loss. During ACEVO’s Climate Week, a panel discussion concluded that charities can’t afford to stand back and wait for others to act. Now, thanks to a newly launched resource from NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) there’s a free practical guide to how you can help. The Everyone’s Environment Pathway is a step-by-step guide to support charities and contains key actions to take, important questions to ask and common concerns, alongside inspiring case studies and links to further resources. Explore the Pathway and start taking positive action now: https://buff.ly/3AYEkPT And don’t forget, if you’d like to take action on a personal level, take a look at all the roles available on the Reach website and Volunteer for Climate. https://buff.ly/3Q5FPko #ClimateWeek #Climate #EveryonesEnvironment #Charity #VolunteerForClimate
