N2 - Few charities communicate quantitative assessments of their volunteers' contributions, leading to an under-valuation of this key resource. An incomplete understanding of the volunteers' roles vis-à-vis paid staff, leads to inappropriate measurement methods being used internationally. New, more informed methods help charities provide more than a thank you to volunteers in their annual reports, however they require charities to commit to valuing the impact of their essential volunteers.
