By drawing from the power of music to engage and mobilise, over 45,000 people–of the 160,000 strong RockCorps community–directly volunteered at a transformational project. RockCorps partnered with over 300 charities and delivered over 400 transformational projects… all with a live DJ, or performance.
The positive social impact of volunteerism was broadcast throughout the UK on Channel 4 with concerts engaging audiences in the millions. Orange and secondary brand partner affinity with their consumers grew at a pace and sustained at a scale unparalleled by other platforms.

Mempho Music Festival | Memphis, 2017 (©GiveToGet)
The inaugural Mempho Festival made available tickets for people to earn by volunteering at a four-hour project in and around the iconic Shelby Farms Park. All projects focussed on regenerating habitats or helping to grow a community-driven healthy food supply. The Memphis community celebrated our brand partner, First Tennessee Bank for making this possible.
“I’m thrilled to know hundreds of the MEMPHO attendees this weekend are there because they planted a garden, and not because they just so happened to have enough money for a ticket.”
