“Thanks for the opportunity. I really love what your organisation is doing for the young generation and very happy to help however I can to give these kids a better future.

Our Access Aspiration corporate volunteering programme helps young Londoners get back on track by delivering much-needed careers support and guidance, at a time when young people are facing increased uncertainty around their future prospects.
To volunteer with Access Aspiration, your organisation will need to be a corporate supporter of the programme.
We currently work with over 65 private, government, public, and charitable organisations who help us deliver our Access Aspiration careers and employability programme to over 3,000 London sixth formers.
Become a supporter today to:
Strengthen your organisation’s diversity, inclusion, and equality work,
Promote your organisation to a talented and motivated future workforce,
Support your organisation’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations.
Volunteering is important as it allows you, our funders and stakeholders, a chance to see the impact your funding is having on local communities, and also allows you to directly engage with young Londoners:
You make a difference to the lives of others
You build meaningful community relationships
You build new skills
You will meet new people
