Investment in volunteering is vital – that’s why we created this guide.
At Rosterfy, we’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of organisations through this transformation —helping both global sporting events with thousands of volunteers, and local charity groups powered by a small but equally passionate community.
We believe the future of volunteering is interconnected, digital, and impact-driven—and that future is already here. Whether you’re exploring volunteer management software for the first time, or looking to scale your existing systems, this guide is designed to walk you through every step of the journey: from making the case for change and assessing your organisation’s readiness for digital growth, to choosing the right technology, and embedding it in a way that sticks.
Digital transformation doesn’t mean losing the human touch—it means empowering your people with the tools to do more, with less, and do it better.
