How do you support and manage your Volunteers?

Submitted by Alice Gaskell on

Volunteers Week is a great opportunity to take time to appreciate and thank your Volunteers for all they do to support your organisation. As the week draws to a close, we're going to look at some of the simple tools that CiviCRM offers to allow you to track of the great work your volunteers do, as well as say "Thank you" to them on a regular basis which may help qualify and quantify the work they do for your organisation.

Is CiviCase right for my organisation?

Submitted by Heather Oliver on

We've been talking to a lot of our clients recently about CiviCase and how it could be implemented for new programmes of client support they have been undertaking.

What is CiviCase?

CiviCase is a case management tool for tracking and managing sequences of interactions between your organisation and contacts in CiviCRM. You could also use it to manage internal organisational interactions, like Volunteer Recruitment. It's suitable for any scenerio where you need to track a series of interactions around a single topic.

Happy New Support Year!

It's hard to believe another support year has passed! GMCVO Databases are moving into our 8th year of supporting the VCSE with CiviCRM and it's been another busy year. We've had two new colleagues Mike and Alice join the team in 2016/17 to help support with the increased number of clients and development we've been doing.

How is that different from CiviCon?

Well, for a start it's shorter (just one day, rather than two). And for another thing it's here in Manchester.

But the main difference is that CiviCamp has a greater focus on how CiviCRM Users can get the most out of their systems.
