If we want to recruit people as volunteers to support our cause, we first need to address this perception gap. We need to reassure people that we will be flexible in how we engage them, supporting them to fit volunteering around their lives.

Two findings really struck me in the 2023 Time Well Spent (TWS) report from NCVO. - 14% of people who do not volunteer said that a lack of flexibility is a barrier. - 82% of current volunteers said they were happy with the flexibility in their volunteering.
