The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is currently developing guidance to help volunteer-involving organisations, groups and bodies based in England better understand how volunteering can be done safely and effectively during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of this guidance development, they are asking employees and volunteers from volunteer-involving organisations, groups and bodies to complete a short survey. The results of this survey will be used to help them to ensure this guidance meets the needs of its users.
