Are we selling our volunteers short?
Exclusive webinar on UK volunteer survey results
Date: Tuesday 7 October 2025

Volunteers are the backbone of civil society, yet new research highlights a worrying gap between how much organisations rely on volunteers and how much they invest in them.
In partnership with Rosterfy, ACEVO invites you to an exclusive webinar exploring the results of the first ever national survey of UK volunteer managers. The insightful findings shed light on how leaders are supporting, or worryingly in some cases, under supporting the people who are giving their time, skills and energy to sustain our sector.
The numbers speak volumes... while 88% of organisations say volunteers are critical to their mission, only 44% of them have invested in the volunteer experience with a clear and forward thinking digital strategy. This disconnect raises and urgent question 'Are we truly valuing volunteers as integral to our organisations, or are we inadvertently selling them short?'
Hosted by Casper Harratt, General Manager at Rosterfy UK & Europe, alongside freelance data analyst Susie Mullen, this webinar will provide charity and social enterprise leaders with fresh insights and practical provocations.
At this crucial time when budgets have been cut but continuing to deliver incredibly valuable services are essential, the way we engage with volunteers and provide a seamless volunteer experience is imperative.
This webinar provide you with:
- evidence of the true impact volunteers have on capacity, reach and outcomes
- a critical overview of the challenges facing volunteer engagement today
- strategic takeaways to help leaders invest in volunteering for long-term sustainability
Whether you’re a CEO, senior leader, or board member, this is your chance to explore the data, challenge assumptions, and strengthen how your organisation engages with its volunteers.
