We launched our annual volunteer survey in September 2025 and the overall positive response to the survey from our volunteers was reassuring. We felt happy to know we are continuing to provide a supportive and consistent volunteer experience.
The results showed us we are in line, and in some cases exceeding, the national picture for volunteering. We have taken all the feedback into account and will use it to shape our future plans.
Feedback from the survey showed us our volunteers feel:
Appreciated
Supported
Empowered
