Charity infrastructure bodies including the NCVO have linked up to better integrate volunteering into post-Covid recovery.
The group, Vision for Volunteering, aims to create a long term strategy for volunteering, including making it a vital part of efforts to recover from the pandemic.
It also aims to “make this process of engaging voices and volunteering experiences as inclusive as possible”, according to the NCVO.
“Our aim is to create a clear and optimistic plan for volunteering over the next decade,” it added.
This week Vision for Volunteering plans to stage a stakeholder workshop and by 12 July establish a steering group.
A consultation is planned for August with the group's plans announced in December.
Also involved are Volunteering Matters, the Association of Volunteer Managers and NAVCA (the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action).
The move comes as charities look to build on a boom on volunteering during the health crisis, in particularly among young people.
This includes the Shaping the Future with Volunteering group, which was announced earlier this month and involves charities includes the Royal Voluntary Service, Scouts, Girlguiding and St John Ambulance.
The NCVO says that Vision for Volunteering “sits alongside and aligns with” the Shaping the Future of Volunteering group.

What has the pandemic taught us about the public’s perception of charities?
In this episode of the Charity Times Leadership podcast, we take a look at what the pandemic has taught us about the public’s perception of charities. Charity fundraising platform, Enthuse, recently released its quarterly donor research study, which highlighted significant shifts in donor behaviour throughout the duration of the pandemic. Not only does the report highlight an overarching sense of positivity towards the sector, but a propensity for younger generations to give more generously, too. Lauren Weymouth is joined by Enthuse CEO, Chester Mojay-Sinclare to discuss more.
The importance of the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’
In this episode, Lauren Weymouth is joined by Ketan Patel, equities fund manager at EdenTree, to delve into the issue of social investment and why that all-important ‘S’ in ESG is more relevant now than ever before. The social element of ESG often gets forgotten when thinking about investing in more ethical and sustainable ways. But, after a challenging year for all areas of society, social injustice has been highlighted, and there’s a much greater need for charities to put people at the heart of their investment decisions.
