Virgin Unite

We unite people to tackle tough social and environmental problems in an entrepreneurial way.

Our aim is to help revolutionise the way businesses and the social sector work together – driving business as a force for good.

This is based on the belief that this is the only way we can tackle the scale of the challenges facing the world today.

Virgin Unite’s overheads are covered by Sir Richard Branson and the Virgin Group, meaning that 100% of additional donations received, go direct to the frontline where they are needed most.

2. Entrepreneurial Incubator

3. Business Mobilisation and Inspiration

Because, as the non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group, we believe business can be a force for good. And because Sir Richard and the Virgin Group pick up all our overhead costs, we can ensure 100% of all donations go to the front line, where it matters most.

Our work is supported by a growing community of staff, customers, suppliers and other individuals and organisations that are joining forces to tackle tough issues. All our initiatives are based on harnessing their entrepreneurial energy.

You can make a difference. Right here, right now.
