We work with world-class businesses who share a belief in the power of business and social enterprises working together to solve pressing problems in society. They also share a desire to offer employees high-quality, skills-based volunteering opportunities to support their development, using their professional expertise to help charities and social enterprises grow.

Their engagement is hands-on: each corporate partner has a senior representative on our Investment Committee which decides on the social enterprises we support.

Our corporate partners commit an annual package of funding and days of employee time to support our work. They also work with us to promote the value of skills-based volunteering with SBT within their organisations.

SBT provides an opportunity to use my skills, and the skills of EY to make a huge positive impact. I value the relationship with SBT so highly because the core of EY’s purpose is to build a better working world, and by working with SBT and supporting their portfolio – we are doing that.

You actually improve your lawyers by giving them access and exposure to the SBT cohort of charities. It asks them to do what they do day in, day out and apply that to a different type of client, or different organisation - with slightly different requirements. So it gives perspective and makes them better lawyers.
