• Evaluation vital for evidence and for improvement -
“make it normal to evaluate”
• Range of evaluation strategies and methodologies
• Stories and voices of service users bring
volunteering alive
• Broader perspective on the value of volunteering
needed - eg added social value; volunteers from
marginalised groups
• Need for funders to understand sector
• Need a framework of principles
Sources of evidence
