Volunteering - now and in the future
We ran a few presentations this morning on all things volunteering.
First up was Sarah, our very own Research Manager, who presented some top line findings from our Volunteer Satisfaction Survey (we'll get that up here shortly). The survey was completed by more than 2,200 volunteers on do-it.org.uk, and there are some really juicy stats in there.
Sarah was followed by Joe Gordon, one of the Commissioners for England Volunteering Development Council's "Future of Volunteering" Commission. As well as having one of the most confusing intros ever, Joe talked through his role in producing the Manifesto for Change, as well as some of his observations on the six recommendations outlined in the report.
Joe then passed the baton on to Fiona, YouthNet's Chief Executive, who outlined the Government's response to the Manifesto for Change, before talking through some of our priorities over the next 12 months or so.
We then had time for a quick but lively Q&A session, hosted by one of our Trustees, Aesha Zafar.
Here are the slides and keep your eyes peeled for the Volunteer Satisfaction Survey report...
