Volunteering: Thinking For The Future

Volunteering is changing and evolving all the time. Volunteers are essential for vibrant communities and have played a vital in the country’s response to the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis.

For several reasons it is becoming difficult to recruit and retain volunteers to all types of tasks and roles; therefore organisations which support, develop and enable volunteers have a responsibility to demonstrate and promote evolving good practice in volunteering, encouraging flexibility and collaboration, recognising who is included from volunteering, and putting the gifts, skills and expertise of the volunteer at the centre.

The Vision for Volunteering creates the opportunity for VCS organisations to rethink how they work, share power and practice meaningful inclusivity with volunteers. To read more about Vision for Volunteering please click here.
