‘Please fill out the survey to reflect your volunteer role with IHBC, and make sure our collective strengths and needs are recognised.’
‘If you’d like to complete it within your own organisation, then sign up as a ‘DASH Champion’!

‘The DASH Champion will receive the organisation’s raw data and data dashboard when DASH 2021 closes on 7th November 2021, together with information on how to analyse it. This will help to assess the digital requirements in the organisation and enable to create steps to improve skills and performance for the future.’
‘Whether you are a heritage organisation interested to take part or know of organisations who could benefit from it, please visit the website to find out how you can be involved.’
The DASH Report 2020 writes:
‘The level of digital skills was relatively high, especially for employed staff and in relation to activities such as video conferencing, but confidence in using social media or collaborative digital platforms was lower. Volunteers rated their digital skills as lower than trustees or employed staff.’
