Vision for Volunteering Toolkit

The Vision for Volunteering is a framework to help you think about the future of volunteering where you are

We’ve developed this toolkit to help you start conversations with those in your organisation, group or community about the Vision for Volunteering and what this could mean for you. This toolkit contains resources and a plan for a ~2 hour long introductory session to explore the Vision for Volunteering, the volunteering context for you and what steps you could take to improve volunteering locally. It is aimed at anyone who volunteers or works with volunteers.

What’s the impact?

Truly interesting conversations, new ideas and quality questions to keep exploring the future of volunteering and making it more accessible, impactful and inclusive!
— Fabian Laplace from be/impact

There’s huge value in bringing people together to focus on volunteering and giving them the space to look to the future. Watch this video from an event we ran last year and the feedback that people had to get a sense of why it’s important to talk about the future of volunteering.

Don’t worry – your event can be as big or as small as you need!

There is such a powerful force of volunteer managers out there coming together to make meaningful change. It’s so exciting!

Brilliant to meet a bunch of other wonderful people in the sector, thinking about how we can innovate, and make volunteering more inclusive.
