Volunteering in Orienteering Survey

By Jenny Jones , 25 March, 2025

The Orienteering Foundation is a charity that promotes and supports orienteering in the UK and to ensure that our sport is here for the enjoyment of generations to come. You may be aware that there is an Orienteering Foundation project researching volunteering in orienteering which was launched on 17th March. See https://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/news/6578/improving_volunteering_in_orienteering


Orienteering is dependent on volunteers and the Foundation would like to encourage all orienteers to complete the short survey whether they currently volunteer or not.


The insights from the survey will enable the Foundation to establish strategies and actions that will enable British Orienteering and its clubs to support volunteers better, making their roles easier to perform and more enjoyable, and identifying how to improve volunteer retention and make volunteer recruitment easier.


There is a prize of a £200 voucher for outdoor kit for one lucky survey respondent to be used at www.sportsshoes.com and six other randomly awarded prizes of Kickback coffee bags.


The survey can be found at https://forms.office.com/e/EMkEg01DZY
Any questions or feedback about the survey should be directed to the Orienteering Foundation on survey [at] orienteeringfoundation.org.uk (survey[at]orienteeringfoundation[dot]org[dot]uk)
