How volunteers support WaterAid's mission to help communities access clean water
WaterAid volunteers are more than just a passionate group of people supporting an important and impactful cause - they are a genuine community who deliver services, campaign and fundraise or WaterAid at some of the UK’s largest festivals including the world famous Glastonbury.
You’ll find them refilling water bottles, keeping toilets clean and engaging with festival-goers talking about the mission to support people without adequate access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene.
Over 500,000 homes a year have better hygiene facilities because of the fundraising efforts of WaterAid.
"Rosterfy is good because it keeps all the information in one place and you can log in to check again and again. It made the application process easy. As a returning volunteer it gets easier every year"
Volunteer, WaterAid

Rosterfy gives WaterAid's volunteer managers the ability to:
- Easily schedule opportunities to ensure full coverage across all roles
- Control who has access to or visibility of specific volunteering opportunities

Linking volunteer efforts to Impact
The WaterAid team are able to express the importance of their mission in range of ways to their supporters.
They host post-event webinars announcing how much they managed to raise and the total value of donations made from deposits donated back the cause by volunteers.
As much as £24,000 is gathered this way and those funds are gratefully appreciated. That amount is enough to to construct one toilet block and a Health Care Facility in Mozambique
WaterAid understand they can amplify fundraising by telling their story through their volunteer management platform.
