Measuring the Impact of Volunteers

Practical techniques to spark creativity and turn ideas into action

Are you able to describe that impact for others? For your volunteers themselves? For those you support or your cause? For your wider organisation and your governing group? For other external stakeholders?

As an organisation who has volunteers helping you do what you do on a day-to-day basis and assisting you to achieve your purpose, you will have a good understanding of the difference volunteers make for your organisation, those you support or your cause.

Impact is the change that happens because of volunteering. Impact measurement is gathering data, information and stories and analysing what this means for different stakeholders. It can help you communicate to volunteers the importance of their work and understand the impact volunteers have for your organisation. It also provides data, information, and stories you can share with external stakeholders.
