KPMG

KPMG in the UK is a leading provider of professional services including audit, tax and advisory services. As part of KPMG Europe LLP it is part of the largest integrated accounting firm in Europe.

KPMG have been working with SGOSS for over five years to promote volunteering roles on school governing bodies to employees. The partnership has been a resounding success placing high quality governors around the country.

KPMG believe that encouraging staff to volunteer gives them the opportunity to develop a number of core skills while benefiting the local community at the same time. As such, KPMG are extremely supportive of employee volunteers allowing them to visit schools and attend meetings during work hours.

"We have a long-standing commitment to education through engaging our staff in volunteering. Governor roles allow our staff to share their professional expertise to further support their local communities and develop their own skills and experience. We are delighted to continue to support the work of SGOSS; the organisation provides an invaluable service to our volunteers and ensures all are well equipped to take on a governor role."
