Impact dashboard
Nothing keeps someone coming back like seeing their own impact.
Volunteers open the app and see the difference they've made: hours given, people helped, activities completed.
Access Assemble
Access Assemble volunteer management app
Volunteers get involved for the cause; a great experience helps them stay longer.
A volunteer management app impacts how your volunteers feel between shifts, and it's one part of their experience entirely within your control.
The Assemble app was built mobile-first from the ground up. Clean navigation, clear hierarchy, and never more than three levels to reach anything.
“Assemble simply offered all the features we were looking for, the app was great."
Engagement follows experience
A great mobile experience keeps volunteers connected after the shift.
Self-service saves you time
When volunteers self-serve, you spend your time where it counts.
One home for all conversations
In-app channel keeps communication together, trackable and compliant.
Mobile-first, not adapted
Built as a native mobile experience from day one.
Part of something bigger
The only volunteer management system that's part of a full charity software suite.
Built for everyone
Designed with every volunteer in mind, whatever their level of tech confidence.
WHAT DOES THE ASSEMBLE APP DO?
Everything your volunteers need
News, updates and messaging
One place, everyone in the loop.
News and posts land straight in the app feed, and clean, chronological messaging connects volunteers and managers inside a GDPR-compliant environment.
Activities, rota and reminders
Rota admin, handed back to the people whose rota it is.
Volunteers sign up for shifts, confirm attendance and manage their rota from the app, with a friendly nudge ahead of every activity so more people arrive ready.
Training and learning on mobile
Learning that fits around a volunteer's life.
Required training completed straight from the app, tracked automatically.
App in action
Now, everything lives in one place: Volunteers log in multiple times a day, assign themselves to tasks, and access everything they need, without barriers.
"Our volunteers, many in their 20s to 40s, expect an app-based experience. Assemble delivers that, helping us recruit faster and retain more volunteers."
- Liz Turner, Head of Community and Volunteering – Make a Wish

Your questions answered
How does volunteer management software help charities save time?
In a nutshell, it gives your volunteers one place to see their impact, read news, message, train and manage activities, all from their phone, built from the ground up as a mobile experience. While they're self-serving, you can spend time on other things!
How is the Assemble volunteer app different from others?
Most volunteer management software began life on the desktop.
The Assemble app was built mobile-first, with clean navigation and never more than three levels to reach anything.
Assemble is also the only volunteer management system connected to a full charity suite of software, alongside Donorfy, Access Raise and Charity Ad Grants in Access Evo, and it's designed to work brilliantly for every volunteer.
Which charities and organisations is the app designed for?
Generally speaking, UK charities and not-for-profits running formal volunteer programmes, with typically 50+ volunteers.
Assemble users span a wide range of amazing missions, including animal welfare, healthcare, food banks, heritage, emergency services, international aid and community welfare.
Does the app work for volunteers of all ages and technical abilities?
Yes, that was exactly the design brief!
Older volunteers are the backbone of UK volunteering, giving time at twice the rate of 25–34-year-olds, and an app that works brilliantly for them works brilliantly for everyone.
It's designed with clear navigation, readable typography, and patterns that mirror the apps volunteers already use.
Is the app included in our existing Access Assemble subscription?
Of course! The app is included in your overall subscription cost.
How does the app help with volunteer retention?
Retention often comes down to how connected volunteers feel between shifts. The impact dashboard shows every volunteer the difference they've made, the news feed keeps them part of the community, and push notifications keep activities front of mind.
According to NCVO, 93% of older volunteers say feeling they make a difference is what keeps them coming back. The app makes that feeling visible every time they open it.
