Case Study: Capita achieves £1M apprenticeship levy impact with Corndel

Capita gifts £1M levy with Corndel to boost charity skills development

Capita, a large UK organization, had a significant surplus in its Apprenticeship Levy funds that it was unable to fully utilize internally. Their challenge was to find a way to use these funds effectively rather than letting them be returned to the government, aligning this effort with their corporate social responsibility values. They partnered with the vendor Corndel and its Levy Pledge service to gift these funds to external charity partners.

Corndel implemented a solution to seamlessly facilitate the gifting process, strategically matching Capita's surplus levy with charitable organizations that aligned with their goals, such as the NSPCC. As a result, Capita gifted £1 million of its levy, which funded apprenticeship programmes that provided measurable impact. These programmes upskilled charity employees, led to promotions, and boosted morale, while also strengthening the operational capabilities of the beneficiary organizations. Corndel's solution enabled Capita to set a new benchmark in corporate philanthropy.
