What it does

A digital activity that still feels personal and purposeful.

Give charities a simple way to collect competition entries and invite corporate volunteers to review, score and shortlist them. The Give Box manages the setup, volunteer experience and reporting, bringing structure and care to every stage.

For charities

Run design competitions, youth challenges, awareness campaigns and community awards, with entries and judging organised in one place.

For teams

Employees take part from wherever they work, review assigned entries and give their time in a meaningful, structured way.

For CSR

Involve colleagues without bringing everyone to one venue, with clear participation information and an outcome your team can share.

How we make it happen

From a charity idea to a shared result.

A clear journey for the charity, your organisers and everyone giving their time. We help bring the moving parts together so your people can focus on taking part.

A brief that gives everyone confidence.

Volunteers know what they are reviewing, what matters to the charity and how to apply the agreed criteria.

  1. Shape the activity

    Agree the brief, categories, judging criteria and volunteer journey with the charity and your team.

  2. Prepare the entries

    Organise submissions, images and supporting information so volunteers have what they need to review.

  3. Brief your people

    Provide clear instructions, access arrangements and an introduction to the cause behind the activity.

  4. Review and score

    Volunteers give each assigned entry their attention and assess it against the agreed criteria.

  5. Bring it together

    Collate results for the charity’s next steps and share participation information with your organisers.

What could your team support?

Different ideas. The same thoughtful approach.

From creative entries to community ideas, a judging activity gives people a practical way to contribute their time and perspective.

Creative competitions

Take time to see someone’s idea.

Help a charity review artwork, writing or design entries. Volunteers look closely at what each person has created, using a shared brief to guide their judgement.

  • Poster, illustration or design competitions
  • Stories and creative writing entries
  • Clear criteria agreed with the charity
  • Scores brought together for the next stage
Community campaigns

Help community ideas be heard.

Give considered attention to campaign submissions, local ideas or award nominations. Your people help review the information and recognise what meets the charity’s brief.

  • Awareness campaign submissions
  • Community award nominations
  • Ideas assessed against a common brief
  • Organised results to support shortlisting
Youth challenges

Give young ideas a fair hearing.

Support a charity-led learning or innovation challenge by reviewing the ideas young people have submitted. The charity helps shape an appropriate brief and the information volunteers receive.

  • Learning and innovation challenge entries
  • Age-appropriate judging criteria
  • Guidance on fair and consistent assessment
  • Entry handling agreed with the charity

These are example formats. The activity, availability and participation requirements are agreed with the charity as part of planning.

A few useful answers

Making it work for your people.

Do volunteers need specialist knowledge?

It depends on the campaign. We agree the criteria and any experience needed in advance, then provide a clear brief so people understand how to take part.

Does everyone need to take part at the same time?

We can discuss a shared session or a review window that lets people contribute at different times. The format is agreed around the activity and your team.

How much time should we allow?

This depends on the number and complexity of entries. We agree the expected commitment during planning, so volunteers know what is involved before joining.

Can we involve our existing charity partner?

Yes, we would be happy to discuss their idea. We can explore whether a competition, campaign or judging activity would provide useful support.

Who decides the final winners?

The charity’s campaign rules determine how scores, shortlisting and final decisions work. We agree that process before volunteers begin reviewing entries.

Can we combine this with an in-person event?

Yes, we can discuss a programme that includes both online volunteering and kit building, giving colleagues in different locations ways to participate.
