Volunteer Surveys have been conducted annually since the Volunteer Manager position has been created.
This gives volunteers the chance to have their say, share their experiences and help to shape the future of volunteering with WAY.
WAY recognises the excellent work that volunteers do to support the charity and its members and in return hopes to make volunteering with WAY a positive experience for all.
Should you have any queries or suggestions regarding volunteering with WAY, please contact WAY's Volunteer Manager at Veronica.currie@widowedandyoung.org.uk
Volunteer Survey 2023
The 2023 Volunteer Survey received 64 responses from 166 volunteers which were very positive and constructive comments, particularly around training.
The average time spent volunteering by respondents was 2 hours a week and 30% of people who took part in the survey have now been volunteering for WAY for more than FIVE YEARS!
Just a few reasons why are volunteers continue to support WAY were:
- Giving back to the charity
- Feeling part of WAY
- Bringing people together
- Gives a sense of purpose
