Use cases

Deloitte & Just Like Us
Deloitte & Just Like Us

Pilotlight worked with Deloitte to co-design an Impact Day connecting its Proud Network with LGBTQIA+ charities, including Just Like Us. The format paired business professionals with charity leaders to explore real-world challenges and co-create practical solutions.


For Deloitte, it was professional development in action: inclusive leadership, collaboration, and deeper understanding of LGBTQIA+ issues. For Just Like Us, it delivered clarity, fresh ideas, and a renewed sense of confidence.


Together, they showed how skills-based volunteering can create mutual learning, amplify inclusion, and deliver results that matter.

Deliveroo & Trussell Trust

Pilotlight worked with Deliveroo to run its first skilled-volunteering Impact Day, bringing colleagues together with charities addressing hunger and poverty, including the Trussell Trust.

Business and charity teams co-created practical ideas to scale impact and strengthen operations.

For Deliveroo it was a fresh way to apply professional expertise and collaborate across teams.

For the Trussell Trust it provided strategic insight, validation and renewed momentum in the fight against food insecurity.
