Multiplying the impact of forward-thinking leaders and their businesses

Join Alumni

Our Purpose

BeyondMe was founded in 2011 in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Our founders wanted to create a better way for passionate and skilled professionals to tackle some of society’s most intractable problems.

BeyondMe’s tech-driven giving and volunteering platform made it easy for professionals and charities to connect and work together in BeyondMe Teams. Each BeyondMe Team donated their time, money and skills to a specific charity project.

1 BeyondMe Team grew to over 200 Teams across more than 20 renowned employers, including PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Goldman Sachs, Unilever, Santander, CBRE, amongst others.

Our Future

BeyondMe completed its final cohort of teams in 2020. Looking forward, we took the decision to focus our time and energy on mobilising BeyondMe’s alumni network to multiply their impact, such as placing alumni into prominent trustee positions. We are proud that many of BeyondMe’s alumni are now in positions of leadership across industries.

Since BeyondMe’s inception the funding gap for UK charities has more than doubled from £4.6bn to an estimated £10bn. It is clear that we still have so much to do.

We would like to place on record our special thanks to the extraordinary support, generosity and leadership of Sir Trevor Pears and the Pears Foundation.

Impact

Charities and social enterprises were at the heart of BeyondMe’s mission. In the UK, there was, and remains, an overwhelming demand for skilled volunteers particularly from charities with less than £1.5m of turnover. BeyondMe’s volunteers added capacity and skills in critical areas

Charity Testimonials

“We really value the energy, enthusiasm and resources of BeyondMe teams. As well as supporting IntoUniversity to complete key tasks, we’ve developed lasting relationships with Some exceptional young professionals.”

Dr. Hugh Rayment-Pickard, Chief Development Officer & Co-founder, IntoUniversity

“ The four BeyondMe teams we’ve worked with have used their business experience to help our charities improve. They’ve helped us plan for the future, deepen our understanding through big data, coach our teams and get the most out of our small budgets. I’d strongly recommend any charity with a specific strategic objective to apply to be part of BeyondMe.”

Alex Smith, CEO, North London Cares & South London Cares

Professional Testimonials

“Managing a BeyondMe team provided me a valuable opportunity to take on a larger level of responsibility and leadership at an early stage in my career. I’d highly encourage my peers to join BeyondMe as a way to make a difference, develop skills and build networks.”

Nora El Muttardi, Consultant, Deloitte Partnership with United World Schools

“BeyondMe enabled me to support a charity whose cause I strongly identify with. It has inspired me to give more than money, but use the skills I’m developing at my firm to produce work that is valued by the charity and better equips it to fulfil its mission.”

Igors Maslovs, Senior Associate, PwC Partnership with Trees for Cities

Our Supporters

“BeyondMe is a clever way of tapping the talent, energy, drive and passion of professionals. If businesses don’t capture, motivate and inspire their frontline, they will fail to stay relevant.”

Dame Julia Cleverdon, DCVO, CBE, Vice President of Business in the Community

“Philanthropists are often looking for innovative ways to make their giving go further. BeyondMe’s model of multiplying resources, through elements like match-funding and donating skilled-volunteer hours, is a strong package to generate greater social value for charities in its portfolio. Its model is an attractive one for philanthropists.”

Sir Tom Hughes-Hallett, Chair, Marshall Institute, London School of Economics
