Case Study: Leeds Building Society boosts volunteering and streamlines CSR with YourCause

Leeds Building Society boosts volunteering engagement 25% with YourCause

Leeds Building Society faced a significant administrative challenge in managing its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes. Their team relied on manual processes like PDFs and spreadsheets to handle grant applications and track volunteer hours, which was inefficient and limited the impact of their community efforts. To overcome this, they partnered with YourCause to implement its CSRConnect and GrantsConnect platforms.

YourCause provided a streamlined solution that automated grant workflows and gave employees a platform to find and log volunteering opportunities. This resulted in a drastic increase in volunteer engagement from under 15% to nearly 40% in 18 months, with over 1,000 employees contributing more than 12,500 hours. The CSR team saved substantial time, and the society supported 377 local charities, strengthening its community reputation and employee wellbeing.
