New Research: The State of Volunteering in the UK 2025
Volunteers remain the heartbeat of communities across the UK – but our new State of Volunteering 2025 report reveals a sector at a crossroads.
Here are just a few of the standout findings:
88% of volunteer leaders say volunteers are mission-critical, yet only 44% have dedicated technology in place to support them.
Four in five organisations reported their volunteer numbers have stayed the same or increased in the past year – proving the resilience of volunteering.
Attracting the next generation remains a challenge – only 1 in 10 leaders strongly agree they can engage Gen Z volunteers.
Download the full report to explore all the findings, discover recommendations for the future, and learn how your organisation can strengthen its volunteer programmes.
"Rosterfy's report seems to validate that having a strategy for involving volunteers is a core element of making it easier to bring people in and that to be incorporated within a wider organisational strategy is even more important"
Ruth Leonard, Chair, Association of Volunteer Managers
