The Volunteering Impact Assessment Toolkit was developed by IVR to help organisations and groups to measure and assess the impacts of volunteering. It is designed to be simple and adaptable so that organisations can use it in ways that are most useful to them.
Why use the toolkit?
Helps to inform the development and improvement of volunteering programmes
Provides evidence to attract new funding
Demonstrates the impact of volunteering programmes to funders and others
Gives information to help feedback to volunteers on the impacts of their contribution
Provides evidence to get more support and funding from management in organisations
Shows the benefits of volunteering to attract new volunteers
Helps improve the services and activities of organisations
How does it work?
The toolkit looks at the impact of volunteering on:
- Volunteers
- The Organisation
- Service users/ beneficiaries
- Wider Community
It then classifies the major ways these groups can be affected by volunteering. Using this framework it provides tried and tested tools which organisations can use and adapt including surveys, focus group topic guides and volunteer diaries. Also included is step by step guidance on how to undertake a volunteering impact assessment.
