Moving forward by giving back – National Volunteers Week

At 2Excel, we believe that building a successful business goes hand in hand with supporting the communities around us. That’s why we empower every employee with two paid volunteering days each year, giving them dedicated time to support a cause that matters to them.

And our people are making that time count.

Across the UK, colleagues are stepping outside their day-to-day roles and using their skills in inspiring ways. From restoring natural habitats and supporting conservation projects, to coaching grassroots sport, working behind the scenes in local theatres, supporting heritage railways, as well as fundraising in creative ways, and even helping refurbish community spaces like nursery schools. The range of impact is remarkable.

But volunteering isn’t just about what we give, it’s also about what we gain. It builds confidence, strengthens connections, and creates a deeper sense of purpose. It gives people the opportunity to grow, develop new skills, and see the direct impact of their time and effort.

As Caroline Herman, Group HR Manager, explains: “Volunteering is a win-win. It benefits not only the recipients of your time and energy, but it’s also incredibly rewarding for those giving their time. It provides enriching experiences that support personal growth, professional development, and the chance to make a real difference.”

This #NationalVolunteersWeek, we’re highlighting the passion, creativity, and commitment of our people, and recognising the positive change they’re driving in communities across the country.

Because at 2Excel, giving back isn’t just encouraged — it’s part of who we are.

When our people are empowered to make a difference, everyone benefits.
