Volunteers pop up in libraries, galleries, museums, parks, neighbourhoods, adult social care, sports development, environment, public health, community engagement and more. To say it&#8217;s a complicated picture is to massively understate the difficulties we know you face.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Some of the questions we know you get asked:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is it even possible to safely support and govern volunteers across the whole organisation?&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How do you report on volunteering as a council?&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What&#8217;s it worth to us as an organisation, what&#8217;s the business case?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Those in charge of managing services for the council and those managing volunteers in those services undoubtedly have a lot on their hands. But if the pandemic has highlighted anything over the past 18 months, it&#8217;s the essential role volunteers can play. We have seen massive public support to volunteer during these unprecedented times. In fact, the volumes of people who wanted to volunteer were overwhelming for many organisations as they did not have the infrastructure in place to cope with such an influx of new volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On top of all these complications, Local Government needs to work hand in hand with local voluntary sector partners to ensure a coherent approach to volunteering across their communities. This is a dynamic and complicated problem and we think our volunteer management software would certainly help.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Can Offer You&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Your Own Customisable Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you read that right, with us you get to create a fully customisable, and accessible application to suit your organisation&#8217;s needs, check out the example below. You can develop an identifiable brand around your amazing volunteers and the work they do. You can set standards and rules as to what opportunities are seen via your site.  You can track activity by volunteer, group, venue, by the department or service area. You can use some of our advanced mapping tools to track where volunteers are making a difference and what impact they are making at a ward-by-ward level. We provide you with the tools to empower your communities to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1216\" height=\"611\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-12-140216.png?fit=629%2C316&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7744\" data-link=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=7744\" class=\"wp-image-7744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-12-140216.png 1216w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-12-140216-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-12-140216-768x386.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-12-140216-1024x515.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-12-140216-900x452.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1216px) 100vw, 1216px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>2. Easily Create New Opportunities&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>Our software enables you to create your volunteer opportunities in minutes. Not only can you create singular opportunities, but you can also calendar schedule your opportunities on a weekly or monthly basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is also easier for volunteers to sign up for opportunities. With TeamKinetic available as both a native app and as a responsive design, it allows volunteers to easily access all opportunities from whichever device they choose. They can also easily filter their opportunities based upon what they are interested in i.e. museum volunteering.<\/p>\n<p>We also provide &#8216;how-to&#8217; videos to make it even easier for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1137\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-10-at-14.24.57.png?fit=629%2C319&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7001\" data-link=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=7001\" class=\"wp-image-7001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-10-at-14.24.57.png 1137w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-10-at-14.24.57-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-10-at-14.24.57-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-10-at-14.24.57-1024x519.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-10-at-14.24.57-900x456.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1137px) 100vw, 1137px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That is why our software also provides you with customisable Key Performance Indicators on your volunteers.
