Demonstrating the social and economic value of volunteering – an in-person interactive training and networking event
This session is for those interested in demonstrating the impact of volunteering on their mission, their communities, beneficiaries and on volunteers themselves. We know that by effectively conveying impact organisations can build greater public trust and support to attract more donors, supporters and volunteers. The session will combine expert teaching with the opportunity to network with other organisations.
Who is it for?
Aimed at those managing volunteers as well as those in leadership roles. There will be takeaways for those already using volunteer management systems as well as for those at the beginning of their impact journey. There will also be the opportunity to network and learn from your peers.
What is it about?
The session will be led by Gethyn Williams, a volunteer specialist, who will share a presentation and take your questions exploring how you can more effectively measure the social and economic value of volunteering in your organisation.
What will I learn?
- An introduction to the concepts of social and economic value in volunteering
- Guidance on selecting appropriate measurement indicators
- Tools to support data capture
- Framing and communicating your impact
- Case studies considering how other organisations have approached this topic
