Making volunteering count: demonstrating the value of volunteering

Volunteering doesn’t happen by accident, and neither should the funding, leadership and strategic support that sustain it. In an increasingly competitive environment, volunteer-involving organisations need compelling evidence to demonstrate the full value of their work and secure long-term investment.

Volunteering doesn’t happen by accident, and neither should the funding, leadership and strategic support that sustain it. In an increasingly competitive environment, volunteer-involving organisations need compelling evidence to demonstrate the full value of their work and secure long-term investment.

Join Chris Wade for an insightful and practical session exploring how a volunteering-focused Balanced Scorecard can help organisations measure, communicate and strengthen the impact of volunteering. Discover how to combine meaningful data with powerful stories to build a stronger business case, influence decision makers and shift perceptions of volunteer development from an operational cost to a strategic investment.
