Fundraising

Get the feel good factor

Fundraising

Spending time fundraising or volunteering is one of the most rewarding things you can do – just ask the 100s of Sodexo people who experience that feel good factor every year!

And did you know?

Sodexo employees are entitled to up to three days’ paid leave a year, to take part in volunteering activities?

You can take:

Three days volunteering for a charity related to tackling hunger and malnutrition, such as FareShare.
One day volunteering for a charity of your choice, either in your local area or further afield.
The maximum number of paid days is three – so you could opt to volunteer two days for a hunger charity and one further day for a charity of your choice, for example.

The small print says: all paid days are subject to the approval of your line manager. And we’re sorry, if you are an agency worker or on a casual contract you’re not eligible for paid fundraising days, but we’d still love you to get involved.

Five great reasons to fundraise

Ditch work for the day. That’s because Sodexo allows you up to three paid days’ fundraising a year.
Gain new skills. You’ll gain knowledge and experience things which could benefit you – and it may help you in your role at work.
Meet people. Whether it’s new people in your workplace or the wider community, mixing with different faces boosts your social skills.
Improve your health. Research has shown that charitable activity has lots of positive health effects.
Make a difference. You’ll be helping others and ultimately improving yourself.
