Volunteer Scotland is developing a new network for people who support and organise volunteers.
Feedback from training and events they've delivered with volunteer-involving organisations, as well as their recent Bridging the Participation Gap roundtables, have highlighted the need for more opportunities for volunteer organisers to connect and share learning.
Membership of the network will be offered on a sliding scale, with those who organise volunteers on a voluntary basis accessing the network for free, and paid volunteer organisers joining for a small fee. Membership fees will directly support the delivery of the network's activities.
They want to make sure this new network responds to the needs of the broad range of people who support volunteering across Scotland and is shaped by its future members.
This survey will help them understand the challenges you face, what support would be most valuable and what would make you want to join and actively participate in a member-led volunteer development network.
The survey has 11 questions, and is mostly multiple choice. It should take around 5 minutes to complete.
Closing date: Friday 9 October 2026
