Why This Opportunity Matters for Charities
The charity sector plays an integral role in communities, providing essential services and support. However, the people working behind the scenes are often overlooked. Ensuring your team feels valued and supported is crucial to the long-term success of your organization. HR management is a challenge for many charities due to limited resources, yet it plays a critical role in fostering a positive workplace culture. This initiative allows you to access expert HR support that can elevate your charity’s operations and enable your employees to thrive.
Key Benefits of Being Kate Underwood HR & Training’s Charity of the Year
By being selected as our Charity of the Year, your organization will gain access to a wide array of benefits designed to support both your team and your charity’s mission.
Access to Professional HR Support
Charities often operate with tight budgets, meaning that professional HR services can sometimes fall by the wayside. As part of the initiative, you’ll receive bespoke HR support tailored to your charity’s specific needs. This includes everything from handling compliance issues to improving employee well-being, ensuring that your charity runs smoothly and legally.
Enhanced Employer Brand
HR isn’t just about processes and compliance—it’s about building a workplace culture that attracts and retains talent. With our support, you can enhance your charity’s employer brand, making it a place where people want to work and volunteer. A strong brand can also help attract donors and partners who value organizations that take care of their teams.
Increasing Awareness of Your Charity
As our Charity of the Year, we will also work to increase your charity’s visibility. Your organization will be featured across our website and social media channels, helping you reach a broader audience and gain local and national recognition for your cause.

Success Stories from Previous Charity Partnerships
We’ve had the pleasure of working with charities in the past, and the results speak for themselves. Our Charity of the Year for 2023 said – ‘We were so lucky to be selected to be Charity of the Year with Kate Underwood HR. It really couldn’t have happened at a better time as we embarked on our first official recruitment drive and developed the charity from a grassroots organisation into a charity with a stronger focus on process and procedure. Without the support that Kate Underwood gave us we would have found navigating the recruitment process a strain on resources so we will be forever grateful for their invaluable, professional and knowledgeable support, Tori Rist, More Education.
