On 11 July 2025, Link UP London partnered with Amazon UK to deliver a Flash Consulting event spotlighting charities working in youth services and education. 18 Amazon employees, volunteered their time and expertise to support six London-based charitable organisations.
These charities deliver a range of youth-focused services across the capital. During the session, volunteers offered tailored advice on business strategy, operations, stakeholder engagement, planning, and organisational development.
100% of Amazon volunteers were satisfied or highly satisfied with the event, 100% felt the conversation really mattered to the charity, and 100% felt the match made good use of their skills.
‘’The Flash Consulting experience helped me utilise my professional skills to provide meaningful insights for charitable organisations’’
‘’Well organised and correctly matched’’
The charitable organisations also had an amazing experience – 100% of charities were satisfied or very satisfied with the event. 100% learned something valuable that they will take action on and 100% found interacting with their Amazon volunteers to be a positive experience.
‘’The event has given me more confidence in the path we need to take to recognise our objective.’’
‘’I am taking away so much information today after talking to some really skilled and informed people. I’m so thankful for you inviting me – my organisation has learned so much’’
What is Flash Consulting?
Flash Consulting is a short, high-impact event that pairs employees with charitable organisations for focused 1-to-1 advice sessions. Each volunteer is matched based on their skills and receives a tailored brief aligned with the charity’s needs, forming the basis of a fully facilitated session.
