Thank you for taking part in the 2025 Get InVOLved surveys!

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our 2025 Get InVOLved Norfolk Surveys for volunteers and organisations. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us - it's helping us to see what is working on the platform and how we can improve it to better support volunteering across Norfolk. We’re currently busy analysing all the responses, and the insights you’ve shared are already proving extremely useful. As a thank you, all survey participants were entered into a prize draw to win Jarrolds vouchers – and we’ll be contacting the lucky winners very soon! In the meantime, we’ve created a handy new document to help you make the most of the site, based directly on your feedback. It includes some useful "Top Tips" and key statistics from this year’s surveys.
