Evaluation findings - June 2025
As part of the Northern Care Alliance's Social Value Strategy, and to support wellbeing and opportunities for personal development of their colleagues, the Volunteering Team created an opportunity in which staff were pro-actively supported to engage with their in-house volunteering programmes. The ‘24 Hours to Make a Difference’ programme was created, in which staff members could commit up to a maximum of 24 hours over a 12 month period to take on one of the Trust's volunteering roles. The programme enabled all staff to give something back, whilst simultaneously increasing the volunteering pool across the Northern Care Alliance (NCA).
In January 2023, Helpforce Insight and Impact team partnered with NCA to evaluate the '24 Hours to Make a Difference’ programme. The following report detail the findings from that evaluation.
