Third Sector Podcast: Tackling Common Volunteering Challenges with Digital Solutions

1–2 minutes

We’re excited to share that one of our Community of Practice leaders, Gethyn Williams, recently appeared on the Third Sector Podcast alongside Saskia Konynenburg, Executive Director of Voice and Impact at NCVO.

Hosted by Lucinda Rouse and Emily Harle, the episode explores some of the sector’s most pressing volunteering challenges. From recruitment and retention to the evolving expectations of today’s volunteers.

Saskia discusses the growing demand for flexible, informal volunteering opportunities and how organisations can better communicate their values to attract the right people. She also offers insights into managing and supporting virtual volunteers effectively.

Gethyn brings a practical lens to the discussion, highlighting how digital tools can improve volunteer experiences, streamline management processes, and ultimately help charities build stronger, more connected volunteer communities.

These ideas build on our ongoing work developing the Digital in Volunteering Toolkit. Just a reminder, you can access the toolkit right here! Explore the Digital in Volunteering Toolkit for practical tools and ideas to help you do more with digital in your volunteering programme.
