Help deliver impact to the third sector with Levy gifting

Discover the Corndel Levy Pledge

Across the UK, charities are under pressure – with most citing financial sustainability and growing demand as key challenges – while over £3 billion in Levy funding has gone unused since 2019. The Corndel Levy Pledge turns this untapped resource into opportunity, enabling organisations to gift their unspent Apprenticeship Levy to build skills, strengthen leadership and create lasting impact across the third sector.

THE LEVY PLEDGE
What is the Corndel Levy Pledge?

The Corndel Levy Pledge transforms this unused potential into meaningful progress. By gifting your unspent Apprenticeship Levy, your organisation can empower charities and smaller businesses to develop critical skills, strengthen leadership, and unlock opportunity.

At Corndel, we’ll match your Levy pledge with an apprenticeship programme that aligns with your organisation’s values and social impact goals – making your contribution both personal and powerful.

WHY GIFTING?
Why gift your Levy?

Gifting your Levy is more than a financial transaction – it’s a catalyst for growth, confidence and societal progress.

By pledging your surplus Levy funds through Corndel, you can:

  • Support the professional development of people working in charities and community organisations.
  • Strengthen the third sector’s ability to meet rising demand for vital services.
  • Reduce Levy waste and direct your funding where it will have the greatest impact.
  • Align your giving with your corporate social responsibility priorities.

We’ll handle the logistics – connecting your organisation to suitable charity partners, setting up the necessary systems, and sharing regular updates so you can see the real difference your gift is making.
