This For That

One large Scottish Bank has told us it has 42, 000 hours of skilled time to give away but only achieves 30% of this which means that there is over £230k worth of time from one organisation that is not reaching the community. This organisation does not have the tools to share these resources, but is looking for a solution. This for That has responded to this need by developing an online platform that allows organisations and individuals across sectors to log their needs which can be met by other organisations resources. We also offer a consultancy package to support and help implement This for That in the organisations and has been developed in response to a combined 20 years of working between communities and public bodies. We have increasingly found that organisations and people want to make a change but they do not have the resources and that large organisations often have excess; from excess soil when a town plants its flower beds, to volunteering time from a corporate organisation. But they do not have the mechanisms to distribute this. From helping two charities to share a minibus, to connecting a legal expert to a social enterprise; This for That is established to match resources with needs. We understand the pressures that resource constraints have across public, private and third sector organisations. In short, organisations are having to do more with less. This for That has a Social Enterprise UK award winning team and has been shortlisted for the RBS SE100 Trailblazing Newcomer Award. This for That has already secured the backing of policymakers, corporate CEOs and community leaders who testify to the positive outcomes and cost-savings of the platform. Our growth potential is not geographically limited with our existing networks already being exploited through pilots in Brasil.
