My daughter went to a girls private school which had a 'volunteer' scheme for the girls from about 13-15,( ie before the need to work for the 16 years and 18 years national exams) to go to a school in a poor neighbourhood to help teach younger kids to read.
Later on, her employer had a scheme for trainee lawyers to go one evening a week to a deprived area to do pro-bono work supervised by a senior lawyer, which was of mutual benefit. When her company was taken over by an American law firm I believe the scheme was stopped.
