SkillShare brings together people from both the VCFSE and business sectors who are willing to share their time, skills, space, or resources with groups that need a helping hand.  

We’re proud to be working in partnership with the Somerset Chamber of Commerce, connecting us with their members who share our passion for supporting local groups and charities. Now, we’d like to extend the invitation more widely and work with others across the business and VCFSE community.

From one-off offers to longer collaborations

By connecting grassroots organisations with corporate partners, SkillShare builds long term relationships that create lasting value. Acting as a broker, we match those seeking support with those ready to offer it.

Support can include:

• Professional expertise in areas such as social media, marketing, HR, IT, finance, web development, mentoring and more
• Volunteering time
• Access to meeting rooms or event spaces
• Donations of furniture, IT equipment or other resources

These opportunities can be flexible and shaped around the interests and availability of those involved, making it easy for anyone to contribute. 

Why get involved?

• Participating in SkillShare by giving support or resources can help you deliver your organisation’s corporate social responsibility goals, enhance brand reputation, engage employees, and make a real difference in your local area. 
• Funding is available to support VCFSE organisations to contribute their skills and expertise.
• For VCFSE groups looking for support, SkillShare provides free access to network of skilled individuals and valuable resources.
