Focus on volunteering & immigration – Baromedr Cymru second wave now open

It’s the International Year of Volunteering! Nearly 1/3 of adults in Wales volunteer, yet volunteer recruitment remains in the top three concerns for 30% of the organisations we surveyed in Wave 1. Meanwhile, a new Home Office policy proposal suggests volunteering could help migrants ‘earn’ the right to live in the UK permanently sooner.

The VCSE Observatory and WCVA are launching Wave 2 of Baromedr Cymru - the new bilingual, quarterly survey for the voluntary sector in Wales - and are keen to gather your views.

This wave focuses on volunteering in your organisation, including whether you have enough volunteers to meet your objectives, changes in volunteer numbers and demographics, how volunteers are recruited and retained, and how changes in volunteering are affecting your organisation. 
 
Wave 2 is live between 27 January – 24 February and offers Voluntary organisations the opportunity to turn lived experience into collective evidence.
