Are You Struggling to Demonstrate Your True Impact?
As a volunteering leader, you know the incredible value your volunteers bring. But do your senior leaders and funders see the full picture? Are you tired of:
Reporting on metrics like 'hours contributed' that don't capture the real, multi-faceted impact of your work?
Struggling to justify budget requests with a compelling, data-driven business case?
Feeling that volunteering is seen as a 'nice-to-have' rather than a strategic asset crucial to organisational success?
Finding it difficult to get buy-in and create a shared understanding of volunteering's value across different departments?
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. It's time to change the conversation.
Transform Your Data into Influence with our Volunteer Impact Scorecard Step-byStep Tool
Our new online tool empowers you to move beyond simple metrics and create a comprehensive Volunteer Impact Balanced Scorecard, using our 6 specially designed perspectives that provide a balanced oversight of the impact that volunteering delivers.
This isn't just another reporting dashboard. It's a strategic framework designed to articulate the return on investment (ROI) of your volunteering programme in the language that decision-makers understand.
Through a guided, collaborative process, you will work with colleagues, volunteers, and even beneficiaries to build a powerful, evidence-based narrative that showcases the value volunteering delivers to everyone involved:
Your Organisation
Your Beneficiaries
Your Volunteers
Wider Society & Funders
As well as articulating;
The Key volunteering features that deliver most impact
The potential for growth and future value through volunteering.
