The National Council for Voluntary Organisations recently released a new report on the volunteer experience.
The overall objectives of this research were to understand the experience of volunteering among people who volunteer and provide rich and practical insights to
inform practice and policy.
Specifically, it aims to:
|
•
|
Gain a rounder view of the different ways people get involved
|
|
•
|
Understand how volunteering fits into people's lives, including whether opportunities are meeting needs and expectations and what drives or prevents a
meaningful experience
|
|
•
|
Understand people's experiences across the volunteer journey and explore what a quality experience and quality management look like from the volunteer's
perspective
|
|
•
|
Explore the impact of volunteering, primarily on volunteers themselves
|
|
•
|
Understand how to better engage potential volunteers, including barriers and enablers to volunteering
