The Impact Stack

The Impact Stack brings structure and clarity to how your organisation creates social value. It shows how activity delivered through GoVo supports charities, strengthens communities and contributes to long-term, measurable impact. For businesses aiming to invest in meaningful CSR, ESG or community strategies, the Impact Stack helps demonstrate what your volunteering efforts achieve in the real world.

A clear framework for social value

The Impact Stack gives businesses a simple way to understand and communicate the difference they are making. It highlights how corporate volunteering, partnerships and community-led initiatives create practical outcomes, from additional resources for charities to stronger support systems for local residents. This framework helps organisations confidently report on social impact and show a clear return on their community investment.

Supporting your people

Volunteering gives employees the chance to use new skills, step outside their day-to-day work and connect with different people. It boosts confidence, improves wellbeing and strengthens teamwork in ways traditional training can’t always match. When employees feel energised and purposeful, that positivity carries through into the workplace.

Building a more connected workplace

Shared volunteering experiences bring teams together. Whether colleagues are supporting a local charity, mentoring in the community or joining a one-off project, these activities create genuine connection and improve collaboration back at work. It’s a simple way to build a culture where people feel supported, motivated and proud of where they work.

Supporting charities where it matters most

Many charities, especially smaller organisations, rely on outside support to keep vital services running. Through the Impact Stack, businesses can see how their involvement helps reduce pressure on teams, expand capacity and increase the reach of local organisations. By connecting with charities through GoVo, businesses provide targeted support at the moments it is needed most.
