Gain even more insights into the impact of your work with Volunteero's survey feature. Each survey generates a campaign which can be shown to volunteers directly in their apps and also shared externally through a direct link or custom-branded QR code. (Scroll to the end for an example)

Here are some of the best survey examples we've seen for surveys so far!

Set up a campaign that captures feedback from new volunteers about their experience with your recruitment, onboarding and training experience. You'll also get fresh insight into how new volunteers perceive your activities, approach and overall culture of your organisation. This approach sets the tone for new volunteers that you value their opinion.

Ask questions such as:

A quick skills-scanning survey can have huge rewards for gaining a better understanding of your volunteer base. It's more than likely that you'll find out valuable details about your volunteers here, including lived experiences, professional roles, community connections, hobbies, interests and passions! All of which you can leverage for events, connections or where you need a volunteer with a specific skill set.

We'd always recommend getting into the habit of capturing annual feedback from your volunteer teams. Ongoing learning and development of your volunteering activities is essential to retaining volunteers and adapting to the ever-changing voluntary sector world.

You can set up an automated exit survey to be sent to volunteers when you remove their app access. This can glean valuable insights from volunteers about what areas your organisation excels in and what could be improved with the volunteer experience.

Ask questions such as:

Capture one-off information on mass such as T-shirt sizes, dietary requirements or medical issues.

Create a client-focused campaign on Volunteero to gain insight directly from your clients about the impact of your work. Share the link or QR code directly with clients or have a volunteer support them to complete.

Ask questions about their experience with your service, a specific volunteer or how the organisation has impacted their health, well-being or connections.

Customise a feedback survey that will be shared to any partnering organisations or stakeholders. This may include questions about the value of your partnership, work achieved together or any future ambitions.

This approach can be particularly useful during annual reporting periods.

Your board of trustees can sometimes get overlooked when it comes to feedback. You can change that by setting up a specific Trustee feedback survey. Capture how they feel about their roles, their contributions and their hopes for the future.

If your organisation holds regular workshops or sessions as part of your volunteering projects then you could be missing out on lots of data from those attendees!

Have a QR code on hand for attendees to scan and complete their Volunteero survey and ask them:

When a project reaches the end of it's life cycle, you can use this as an opportunity to capture feedback from a wide range of volunteers, participants, stakeholders and partners which can all be used as content in your end-of-project report/ summary!

Optimise your admin time by having case study questions laid out in a Volunteero survey, share this as and when you'd like to produce a case study and flesh out the answers into a written blog once you have them back.

Similar to case studies, but short and sweet! Capture snappy quotes that you can use for recruitment or promotional purposes.

Last but not least! Why not survey your volunteers to ask how they feel about Volunteero! There may be some really interesting insights into how the app has changed the way they volunteer, and also some suggestions for how staff users could make better use of features. Any ideas or feedback surrounding feature developments from volunteers please send them our way! We're always keen to develop based on how volunteers want to see the app work 🤓
