Calling all volunteers – have your say!
The ASA’s annual Volunteer Satisfaction survey has launched and will remain open until the 14th November.
The survey will take around 10-15 minutes to complete. Click Here To Complete.
The ASA value each and every volunteer contribution, and your experience as a volunteer is important to us. We encourage you to take this opportunity to provide us with details about your current experience, any additional support and training as an ASA volunteer you would like to receive, what we do, or perhaps don’t do currently which you think would make a real difference.
We welcome and value your thoughts and opinions on how we can improve and your comments will help to shape the future work and priorities of the ASA Volunteer Engagement department. We would like each and every volunteer to complete this survey, it’s about your own experience and what matters most to you. Most importantly the survey is confidential so we would welcome you to be honest with us.
Last year, responses from the survey influenced the development of the volunteering hub, the new look and feel of the ASA Volunteer Engagement Department, the creation of the Volunteer Engagement Handbook to name just a few. Your feedback really does make a difference and will continue to do so.
If you have any queries about how this information will be used please do not hesitate to contact [email protected]
