She pointed out that volunteers often don\u2019t get the recognition they deserve, and that relying too much on numbers and economic data can miss the bigger picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her session shared a values-based evaluation framework created for Glasgow Life, which puts more weight on collecting personal stories and emotional insights to show the real impact of volunteering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/r-ifjdThygg?si=7JMOWadiTeuOR3xv\">Watch the session now:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r-ifjdThygg?si=SsZqhMf8uHZ42T7_\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/04\/masterclass-guest-spot-joanne-irvine\/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You can also read her guest blog for more insight into the session and her experience in the sector.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TeamKinetic users can register for masterclasses via your system &#8211; Help &amp; Support \u2192 Extra Training.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re not a TeamKinetic user, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/masterclass-evaluating-what-matters-tickets-1328029013529?aff=newsletter\">you can secure tickets for free here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TeamKinetic Updates &#8211; Desktop and Mobile<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/02\/teamkinetic-2-6-0-major-release\/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/System-Update-2.6.0-1-1024x171.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/System-Update-2.6.0-1-1024x171.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/System-Update-2.6.0-1-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/System-Update-2.6.0-1-768x128.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/System-Update-2.6.0-1-900x150.png 900w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/System-Update-2.6.0-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>The latest TeamKinetic update is here, and it\u2019s packed with features that make life easier for volunteer managers and admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now assign ToDo tasks to other admins, check volunteers in and out using QR codes, and personalise bulk emails with volunteer names.

It echoes previous proposals that suggest workers should have the right to request up to three days\u2019 volunteering leave each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The argument goes that such a move could help strengthen democracy and rebuild trust in society. But John Mohan, professor of social policy at the University of Birmingham, urges caution. While there are links between volunteering and greater civic engagement, the evidence that one causes the other is far from clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most research, including the Power to Change survey, shows associations, not cause and effect. Long-term UK studies suggest any impact on political engagement is limited at best. And the people most likely to take up paid volunteering leave? Those already active, engaged, and better off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a practical side to consider. For many small organisations and overstretched public services, losing staff time \u2013 even a few days a year \u2013 could be a real burden. Meanwhile, workers in precarious jobs or on zero-hours contracts are unlikely to benefit at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohan suggests that instead of offering rights that only the already-privileged can realistically use, we should focus on improving the conditions that make participation possible in the first place \u2013 decent work, stable hours, fair pay, and security. That\u2019s what might actually move the dial on trust, inclusion, and engagement in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volunteering and Museums: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This candid reflection on managing volunteers in the museum sector takes a look at the highs and lows of managing volunteers in the heritage sector. From incredible contributions (like volunteers stepping in to write exhibition content) to the challenges of rota management, boundary-setting, and navigating sometimes very honest feedback, it captures the reality of day-to-day volunteer coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The piece champions volunteering for the right reasons: passion, community, personal growth\u2014not cost-cutting. It also stresses the need for strong strategy, communication, and inclusion so volunteers feel valued and part of the team. A timely reminder that good volunteer management isn\u2019t just admin\u2014it\u2019s essential infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/museumsandheritage.com\/advisor\/insights\/volunteering-and-museums-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly\/\">Read the piece here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Other stories:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #002133;\"><a style=\"color: #9ed9b0;\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/06\/teamtalk-june-25\/2\/?utm_source=newsletter&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\"><strong>TeamKinetic News and Events<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/06\/teamtalk-june-25\/3\/?utm_source=newsletter&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\"><span style=\"color: #002133;\"><strong>Our Partner News and Events<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/06\/teamtalk-june-25\/5\/?utm_source=newsletter&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\"><span style=\"color: #ffb37b;\"><strong>TeamKinetic User Events<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-normal-font-size is-style-outline--6\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/06\/teamtalk-june-25\/3\/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\" style=\"background-color:#002133\">Previous Page<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-normal-font-size is-style-outline--7\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/2025\/06\/teamtalk-june-25\/5\/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=teamtalk_june\">Next Page<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TeamKinetic User News<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winning Big with TeamKinetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve recently been busy with conferences, events, and our user feedback survey.
