Who We Are:
Give What You’re Good At is a UK-based organization dedicated to connecting skilled volunteers with charities in need of construction expertise. We believe everyone has something valuable to offer, and by using your existing skills, you can make a real difference in your community. Our platform facilitates a seamless connection, allowing volunteers to find projects that match their skillset and schedule, and charities to access much-needed construction support.
Our Mission:
Our mission is twofold: to empower individuals to give back by utilizing their construction skills for good, and to empower charities to realize vital building projects that would otherwise be impossible. We strive to create a win-win situation where volunteers gain a sense of purpose and satisfaction, while charities benefit from crucial construction services, allowing them to further their important work.
Why We Do It:
Many charities in the UK struggle to maintain their facilities or undertake necessary building projects due to a lack of resources. Skilled construction volunteers can bridge this gap, offering their expertise at no cost. We believe in the power of community and that even small projects can have a significant impact. From repairing a leaky roof at a homeless shelter to building an extension for a youth centre, every project completed by our volunteers helps charities continue their vital work and improve the lives of those they serve.
How We Work:
Give What You’re Good At provides a user-friendly platform that connects volunteers and charities. Volunteers can create profiles showcasing their skills and experience, along with their availability. Charities can post project descriptions outlining their needs and desired skillsets. Our platform facilitates communication and project management, ensuring a smooth and successful collaboration.
The Impact We Make:
Since our launch, Give What You’re Good At has facilitated hundreds of successful construction projects across the UK. We’ve seen volunteers with diverse skillsets come together to repair roofs, build extensions, and create accessible spaces for charities. These projects wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers, and the impact is undeniable. We are proud to connect people with opportunities to give back through their skills, make a real difference in their communities, and build a stronger, more supportive UK.
