New Packages 2026
Our 2026 Corporate Volunteering Calendar introduces two reimagined experiences designed to deepen engagement, strengthen wellbeing, and drive lasting social impact. Each programme blends creativity with purpose, allowing corporate teams to contribute meaningfully to the NHS and the wider community while gaining valuable insights into mental health, teamwork, and social responsibility.
Every experience is co-designed in collaboration with your team and our Volunteer Service Team, ensuring that activities are engaging, inclusive, and aligned with both your organisational goals and the NHS’s community priorities. Together, we create volunteering that inspires connection, purpose, and impact.
In 2026, you can select from two distinct premium experiences:
Premium Experience 1: NHS Immersion Day
For larger groups (up to 50 participants), we offer a fully customisable, full-day experience rooted in real NHS needs and aligned with your organisation’s team goals.

This premium package provides an authentic connection to NHS environments and a tangible opportunity for teams to contribute to patient wellbeing and community health.
Premium Experience 2: Community Partnership Programme
The Community Partnership Programme brings together the community-led expertise of Mile End Community Project and the clinical and therapeutic insight of East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) to deliver meaningful, place-based corporate volunteering experiences in Tower Hamlets.
This programme enables corporate teams to work directly within the local community; gaining first-hand insight into the realities, strengths, and challenges facing residents, while contributing to practical improvements that make shared spaces safer, more welcoming, and more inclusive.
It is designed for organisations that want their social responsibility activity to go beyond surface-level volunteering and create visible, local impact rooted in understanding and connection.
What the Corporate Volunteering Day Looks Like
Morning: Insight and Learning
The day begins with an introduction to Mile End Community Project, the services it delivers, and the communities it supports. Corporate volunteers take part in a facilitated session using locally produced short films exploring identity, health, wellbeing, and lived experience in Tower Hamlets. This creates space for reflection, learning, and open discussion around inequality, access to services, and mental health.
Afternoon: Practical Community Volunteering
In the afternoon, teams take part in hands-on activities that directly improve community spaces. Activities may include environmental improvements such as cleaning and reorganising shared areas, planting and green-space enhancement, applying visual improvements, or creative tasks such as murals and space refreshes.
These activities leave a lasting, tangible benefit for staff, volunteers, and community members who use the space daily.
Group sizes are typically no more than 10 volunteers, supported on-site by a member of the community team.
Why This Matters
For the community, this programme improves the quality, safety, and usability of shared spaces; creating calmer, more dignified environments that support wellbeing and foster pride, belonging, and ownership.
For staff and volunteers, corporate support provides additional capacity for tasks that are often difficult to prioritise, improving morale, reducing pressure, and enhancing the working environment.
For corporate partners, this experience translates ESG and CSR commitments into action. Teams build empathy, strengthen relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of mental health and community need; while contributing to long-term community cohesion, reduced stigma, and inclusive local growth.
Please beaware, all Premium Packages Include:
• Breakfast and lunch for all participants
• Post-session impact report outlining outcomes, outputs, and learning
• All materials, tools, PPE, and equipment required
• Full on-site facilitation and coordination by NHS staff
