Virtual VS in-person volunteering, which is best suited to you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Virtual volunteering enables people to be able to complete volunteer tasks remotely via the internet.\u00a0 There are many benefits of both, but it can depend on your lifestyle and what you want to gain from the experience. Some may think that in-person volunteering is the only way you can see the impact you’re making, but virtual volunteering allows for this too. While some people are better suited to face-to-face volunteering, others may find virtual volunteering is the best way for them to get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros of Virtual Volunteering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Virtual volunteering, also known as online volunteering or cyber-service, has grown due to the pandemic as many volunteering couldn’t be completed face-to-face because of restrictions. There are now more opportunities for online volunteering than there were previously.
A recent benefit of virtual volunteering is saving commute costs, due to the cost of living crisis many organisations are struggling to reimburse volunteers for transport costs, resulting in volunteers potentially having to cover the costs themselves. Volunteering remotely, however, means that you don\u2019t have to worry about any commute costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual volunteering is also time efficient, so it is a great option for people who don’t have the spare time to travel and commit to a timetable. This way people can be more flexible and help out when it’s most suited to them from the comfort of their own homes. People can also have access to a wider range of opportunities that are anywhere in the world and volunteer for organisations they might not have access to work for in person due to where they live or lack of access to transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly virtual volunteering is accessible to anyone, so people with disabilities who may be discluded from volunteering in person can also make a difference.\u00a0 All you need is a device and an internet connection and you are able to volunteer anywhere, as the UN website states, online volunteering is \u2018by nature, inclusive. Anyone, anywhere, can help.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of virtual volunteering roles include translating and editing documents, over-the-phone and online volunteer counselling, completing admin tasks such as organising donations, sending out emails and many more. There’s now a large range of virtual volunteering opportunities as organisations had to adapt during the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros of in-person volunteering <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people may feel more comfortable volunteering online however you may gain more from volunteering face-to-face. In-person volunteering allows you to meet new people and build better relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With in-person volunteering, you are able to develop social skills which you might not gain from virtual volunteering. However, due to the roles available with online volunteering, you may be able to gain more useful skills which can help with a career change in a different field of work. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big benefit of volunteering face-to-face is the immediate effect it has on the people you are helping, people who volunteer online may feel as though their work isn’t having an impact as they are not seeing the immediate reaction of the people they are helping straight away in-person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaways…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Completing virtual or in-person volunteering is a personal preference and it all depends on what you want to gain from the experience. You may be volunteering to gain new skills and meet new people or achieve a rewarding feeling of seeing your own impact help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual volunteering can be a great solution if you are interested in volunteering but can\u2019t attend regular in-person volunteering shifts because you don’t have time or don\u2019t have access to transport. However, it may be easier to meet new people and build better relationships if you are volunteering in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research by Historic England, evidence from their primary research indicates that volunteers in the heritage sector play a key role in facilitating the operation of the sector. The number of heritage volunteers has been increasing since 2012.
