Five years of UBS Helpetica – achieving great things together
UBS Helpetica
What started with the UBS Employee Volunteering program has now become a vibrant community of people who want to get involved. More than 1,350 projects have been set up – many of them thanks to collaborations with over 180 partners, NGOs and SMEs. Whether it’s environmental and social issues, education or entrepreneurship: by working together, we get things done and achieve results that would not be possible alone.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their knowledge or simply gets involved in something they are passionate about. This is the only way for us to consistently show that even small actions have a big impact.
A heartfelt thank-you
To mark this anniversary, we would like to thank all the NGOs we work with, not to mention the volunteers and all our other partners, whose passion, commitment and willingness to get involved have made it all possible.
Let’s continue to do our bit in the years to come and make the world a better place – step by step, project by project.
We’ve been able to welcome many people interested in volunteering over the last few years – and in two very different areas - candidates for blind guides and IT support. Working together has also boosted our media presence. Many thanks, UBS Helpetica!
Thanks to UBS Helpetica and additional volunteering assignments, we are able to reduce food waste. We greatly appreciate every helping hand and every new volunteer who finds their way to us via UBS Helpetica.
We value the personal and straightforward contact with UBS Helpetica, and the information about our projects is posted in a clear way that makes it appealing to companies. We look forward to continuing our good working relationship.
On behalf of everyone at Beverin Nature Park, we warmly congratulate UBS Helpetica on its fifth anniversary! We greatly appreciate the platform as it has enabled us to reach numerous volunteers all over Switzerland and carry out enriching assignments that benefit people and nature.
UBS Helpetica and Caritas Zurich have been partners since UBS Helpetica was established. Our collaboration is characterized by mutual trust and enjoyment. The platform gives Caritas Zurich the opportunity to find volunteers for our various projects.We look forward to continuing to work together and congratulate UBS Helpetica on its successful five-year anniversary!
UBS Helpetica supports the project run by DÔME SENIORS, a registered non-profit association, which has been working to support isolated elderly people in the canton of Geneva since 2020. Thanks to this wonderful collaboration, the seniors involved have an opportunity to share their experiences and connect with others during these exchanges, giving them a reason to smile again. One of the most anticipated moments of the week! Thank you to the volunteers at DÔME SENIORS for your valued commitment.
Working with UBS Helpetica is a win-win situation: thanks to this network and our collaboration, we can all achieve our goals!
UBS Helpetica has been an extremely valuable platform for Innovage from the very beginning. Innovage is a pool of retired executives who voluntarily provide their knowledge and experience to volunteer organizations, NPOs and associations, so having a good network is crucial. UBS Helpetica connects us with current charitable projects that may need our support, as well as with executives who are interested in becoming Innovage advisors. Claudia’s personal referrals and consultations have repeatedly helped us in this respect. UBS Helpetica is not an anonymous platform; instead it takes care to provide tailored support to each association and to portray the right image. The non-profit organizations benefit from high-quality assistance that boosts their effectiveness. Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Keep up the good work!
Volunteering helps to bring people together and promotes social responsibility. benevol’s partnership with UBS Helpetica therefore aims to make volunteering even more relevant, appealing and visible throughout Switzerland. Thanks to its extensive network of clients, business leaders and current and former employees, UBS Helpetica makes a vital contribution to achieving our shared goal.
For us as an NGO, our collaboration with UBS Helpetica is more than a great opportunity to attract volunteers. Last fall we were able to publish a report on our activities to increase awareness of ROCK YOUR LIFE! throughout Switzerland. Many thanks – working together is always very pleasant and straightforward!
A committed society needs strong alliances. UBS Helpetica connects people and opportunities, helping volunteers to make a meaningful contribution. At SSCG, we greatly appreciate this partnership, particularly with our SeitenWechsel and Job Caddie programs.
Every year, the UBS Helpetica platform makes it easy for us to find highly committed mentors who are willing and able to support young people in starting out in their career.
With its volunteering referral platform, UBS Helpetica makes an important contribution to the common good. We are very pleased that we can offer SeitenWechsel assignments via the platform. SeitenWechsel is a week-long, individually designed work assignment in a social institution. This unique context means participants often develop an interest in further voluntary work.
Through UBS Helpetica, we reach companies and teams whose group assignments reduce the amount of coordination work for us and often lead to further engagement – which we are particularly pleased about. Working together is cordial, uncomplicated and efficient. Time and time again we are inspired by the palpable joy of teaching meaningful activities.
