Sharing our professional skills to help local non-profits thrive

The CoRe (Community Resourcing) Programme is delivered by our long-term, non-profit partner the BIG Alliance and brings teams of volunteers from the Macquarie Group, Slaughter and May and Expedia Group together to utilise their skills, knowledge and expertise to support local organisations. Over six months, the programme aims to enhance the capacity, capability and financial sustainability of non-profits in Islington and the surrounding areas by addressing their key operational needs and strategic challenges.

In 2023, the CoRe Programme saw 60 volunteers donate over 3,000 hours of their time to 11 Islington community organisations and an estimated £170,000+ leveraged in support for the non-profits that took part.

CoRe programme 2023 report

For more information on the outcomes of the 2023 CoRe Programme, read the full evaluation report here.

The CoRe Programme helps to provide fundamental skills and resource to non-profits so they can deliver crucial projects that help them continue to operate and expand, but that they might not have the capacity to do, without the extra support. It can be truly transformational for the organisations that take part. Kerry Peters-Taylor, Head of BIG Alliance
