Why involve volunteers in your organisation?

Involving volunteers can add great value to what your organisation does and support you to achieve your mission and strategic objectives.

Involving volunteers can help you to:​

​

• Engage a more diverse range of skills, experience and knowledge

• Reach more of your beneficiaries

• Raise awareness about your cause as well as your organisation, its profile and what you do

• Build relationships within the community in which you work and contribute to supporting others in your community. By providing volunteering opportunities you provide opportunities for social inclusion, skills development and potential routes to employment.
