Are people too busy to volunteer?
we spend 700 billion minutes on Facebook, every month!
we send over 90 million Tweets every day!
we watch 2 billion videos on YouTube, not in a year or month, but every single day!
What if you could capture some of that time on Facebook, YouTube etc and
reduce volunteering down to bite sized chunks of time that are:
easy
involve little or no commitment
take less than 30 minutes to complete
convenient to suit your lifestyle
'Volunteer Anywhere' will provide an environment that:
engages the participant in a socially interactive Facebook-esque format
provides a fun, friendly competitive element to volunteering
has real time quantifiable impact reporting facilities
contains over 800 plus pre-loaded microvolunteering actions
Microvolunteering opens up a whole new world within:
• an employee volunteering scheme• a responsible citizenship course / lesson• a meaningful activity programme• civic engagement projects
Microvolunteering can bring in an income stream via quantifiable
social impact reporting!
Key Benefits to Businesses employees and uniquely customers, can participate at the same time allowing greater transparency, accountability and reputation

employees can volunteer on an individual, team or branch basis without leaving the office
Key Benefits to Schools
