The Extra Hour 2026
This October, when the clocks go back, we don't just gain an hour of sleep - we gain a gift of time. Neighbourly is inviting the employees of its volunteering partner businesses to put this ‘extra hour’ to good use – by supporting a local charity or community organisation on the Neighbourly platform.
Join the campaign and spend your Extra Hour doing something Neighbourly!

Volunteer with Emmaus
Emmaus supports people who have experienced homelessness and social exclusion by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social enterprise, support, training and an opportunity to rebuild their lives.
Emmaus communities provide a home for as long as someone needs it, alongside support to deal with any issues they may have experienced, such as mental health or addiction. Regaining control over their life also means they can rebuild relationships with loved ones and look forward to a brighter future.
With Cadent’s support, Emmaus communities will help even more people to rebuild their lives after homelessness.
