Good point. All I know is that I can attend volunteer charity days - last one was working in a green space in Manchester clearing out a pond and planting trees. If I attend one in my own time they give me a day off, upto 4 days a year.
I suppose the company is giving me to the charity for the day because I still get paid my normal rate so its my company that loose out because I am not working for them
