Volunteers

Volunteers can add immense value to what your organisation does. They bring diversity which enriches the organisation and bring a range of qualities, skills and expertise that you may not get from the staff in a team e.g., languages, cultural understanding, specialist skills, and personal experiences. Digital volunteers can fill a skill gap in your organisation or free up time for you to pursue digital transformation.

Here are some of the benefits of involving volunteers.

Access to skills

Volunteers bring a wide range of skills, experience, and knowledge to your organisation. This builds on the resources you already have and can help achieve your mission and goals.

Wider reach

With the extra resource of involving volunteers, you will be able to reach and help more people.

Volunteers are often part of the communities you work or fundraise in. By giving them an opportunity to be involved in the organisation, you can inspire them to become your greatest advocates.

Creating opportunities

Providing volunteer opportunities helps people connect with others, learn new skills and gain confidence.

It often helps them find routes to employment and can improve health and well-being too.

More relevance

Volunteers can bring new opinions, ideas, and approaches to your work.

This can help you adapt, stay relevant to what people need from your organisation, and find new ways to improve.
