Time for Volunteering Strategy Consultancy

Having a clear vision, purpose, and strategy for volunteering is essential for any charity that wants to engage its supporters in its work. Your volunteering strategy should be seamlessly embedded within your overall organisation strategy. Your vision for volunteering should be known, understood and accepted by all your people and supporters.

Time for Impact can assist your organisation with the following;

Identifying your organisational mission and vision for volunteering and participation.

This is important, so that all leaders, funders, donors, staff and indeed volunteers know what it means to be a volunteer, what support is needed, and what impact the volunteering will make.

Designing your volunteer strategy.

We can help with all stages of design from understanding the expectations of stakeholders, strategy design and testing.

Planning volunteering strategic delivery

We can help you plan to bring your strategy to life, with operational plans, budgets, metrics and stakeholder engagement.

Volunteering Culture change

Most plans and strategies in all industries fail because of failure to properly support people through change. When someone volunteers with you, a psychological contract is established between them and your organisation. Volunteer are often really passionate about their volunteering and change can threaten to destroy that psychological agreement causing disruption, angst and volunteers leaving the organisation. Therefore, carefully working with your volunteers to help them through the changes in your strategy is essential.

We can help ensure stakeholders are aligned and ready for the change required for your strategic success.

Finding the right volunteer management software solutions.

It is so easy to waste huge amounts of money and time on digital solutions that are not fit for your needs or are not future-proofed as you develop. We can help you find the right solutions for you.

Designing volunteering systems and environments for volunteer impact.

We can help you find systems and measures to demonstrate the impact of your volunteering and participation to trustees, donors and indeed volunteers.

Building Participation and communities for lifelong impact

We can help you design and capture sustainable communities of volunteers and supporters and plot routes and opportunities to sustain their contributions over long periods.

Building Marketing Strategies

Increasing finding new volunteers has become a challenge. Effective marketing strategies are essential to building volunteer communities.
