CSR and Charity
At Virtual College, we are passionate about helping others, from safeguarding children, supporting mental health and helping young people to develop skills. As part of this passion, we actively support charities across the UK and, over the years, we’ve conducted several projects to raise awareness and funds for causes we care deeply about.

Female Genital Mutilation
Virtual College’s e-learning course on FGM was developed in collaboration with the Home Office.
We oversaw the design and distribution of cutting-edge training designed to educate learners about the indicators of ‘at risk’ women and the law on FGM in the UK. To date, the training has been completed by over a million learners and receives over 10,000 website page views per month.
Alison Humphreys from the Home Office has commented that “the course has had a real impact… enabling learners to know what to look for and how to respond with confidence.”
NHS Charities Together
We developed an online Covid-19 training course, which we initially offered as free training, to support and inform individuals how to keep safe against the virus which impacted everyone.
With the guidelines changing constantly this meant the course was updated on a regular basis and we had to charge a small fee so we could sustain the quality of the training, 20% of the takings continue to be donated to NHS Charities Together.
NHS Charities Together work with over 230 charities to support with funding and go above and beyond what would normally be possible. We are proud to have donated over £25,000 to them with the course having being accessed by over 195,000 people.

Prepared to safe a life
In 2018, our then CEO Rod Knox observed the need to improve the population’s basic life-saving skills (every seven minutes a person will have a heart attack but many witnesses do not act) and the reach elearning could have. He created the ‘Prepared to Save a Life’ campaign. A partnership was formed between Virtual College, the Community Save a Life Scheme and Bolsover Council, to promote their joint mission to have a life saver on every street corner of the UK. A free online course was developed, and it continues to provide members of the community with basic life-saving skills.
