Partners' Testimonials

“The Time & Talents team has assisted us over and beyond a brokerage service. We have gained new access to a community of corporates and charities that we would otherwise not have connected with on our own. I find the team both enthusiastic and capable, and really enjoy working with them.”

Ian Messenger, Group Internal Communications Manager

“The Time & Talents team has been brilliant at promoting our work and recruiting employee volunteers, which is an enormous help to us as a small charity. Through Time & Talents we were able to give out 300 food hampers to our older people at Christmas.”
Small neighbourhood charity

“A key benefit for us of being a Time & Talents partner has been to build links with smaller charities that have varied opportunities for our staff, which we would not have been able to establish through our own efforts.”

Jeanette Forder, Strategic Human Resources


“We have benefited greatly from working with Time & Talents and employer partners. Time & Talents’ project management has been thoughtful and efficient; and the skills of employee volunteers invaluable. Time & Talents has been a huge benefit to us as a bridge and a connector.”
Hilary Nightingale, Manager of External Partnerships

“I thoroughly enjoy being a member of Time & Talents and look forward to the meetings. The support and encouragement I have received has been excellent and has gone a long way to helping us roll out our employee volunteering programme here at Head Office, Victoria.” 

Anne Folan, Community Liaison Co-ordinator, Victoria

“Our relationship with Time & Talents continues to grow from strength to strength. The Time & Talents team has a very good understanding of our focus areas and the way we work which helps us enormously. We have received very good project ideas and support which has followed through to positive outcomes.”
Private sector partner

“Time & Talents provides an excellent service, especially partnership meetings and training. One of the speedmatching events resulted in new relationships that has been beneficial to The Passage. Whenever I need advice or have an enquiry, the team is quick to respond and excellent in providing support, information, introductions or whatever is needed.”

“I would like to commend the expert advice and support received from Time & Talents for Westminster on devising and developing DfT's volunteering strategy. We have received support to help raise the profile of volunteering within DfT through hosting stands at events as a way of building upon, and developing new skills. The opportunity to network with volunteering stakeholders in the public and private sector through the Time & Talents partnership meetings has been really useful. The partnership has given us exposure to creative and innovative community activities for team and individual volunteering. Working with a dedicated team at the Volunteer Centre Westminster who are passionate about what they do, warm and friendly, and who understand the culture of our organisation has made a big difference. The team always has creative ideas for engaging our staff and encouraging them to consider volunteering as a way to develop. It's a real pleasure and great fun working with them.”
