Time Well Spent: A national survey on the volunteering experience

Time Well Spent is a major new report into the volunteering experience published by NCVO in January 2019. It is the result of a national survey carried out through YouGov’s panel (10,000+ respondents).

The survey focuses on volunteering through groups, clubs and organisations and includes data on recent volunteers, but also lapsed volunteers and non-volunteers.

The aims of the survey were to:

• gain a rounder view of the different ways people get involved
• look at how volunteering fits into people’s lives and the impact it has on them
• understand people’s experiences across the volunteer journey
• consider what a quality volunteer experience looks like
• explore how to better engage potential volunteers.
