This month marks one year since the launch of the Digital in Volunteering<\/em> initiative – a sector-wide effort to understand how digital tools are transforming volunteering. It also serves to help volunteer managers build the confidence, capability, and connections they need to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From recruitment platforms and online training tools to CRM systems and new ways of keeping volunteers engaged, one thing is clear: digital isn\u2019t just an add-on anymore. It\u2019s central to how volunteering works today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, the initiative has grown rapidly across the UK voluntary sector. While digital in volunteering continues to evolve, we\u2019re already seeing real innovation, shared learning, and a growing appetite to build on this progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s been achieved so far<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The vision behind Digital in Volunteering<\/em> is simple. To empower volunteer managers with the tools, knowledge, and peer support they need to use digital confidently and purposefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Digital in Volunteering Toolkit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A practical resource designed to help volunteer managers adopt digital approaches with confidence. Whether you’re starting small or scaling up. From assessing your organisation\u2019s digital maturity to embedding inclusive practice, the Toolkit has already supported hundreds of people across the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Digital in Volunteering Community of Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now more than 300 volunteer managers strong, the Community is a space for sharing ideas, learning together, and supporting one another on the digital journey. Built by volunteer managers, for volunteer managers, it\u2019s a collaborative network that\u2019s only just getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through webinars, discussions, and case studies, one clear message has emerged: the future of digital in volunteering will be shaped by practice, not platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
