Online surveys for churches and social organisations

Closer to congregations, staff and the people you serve

Parishes, dioceses and regional churches, as well as Diakonie, Caritas, AWO and other social organisations, depend on trust and closeness to people. Especially in times of church resignations, staff shortages and growing demand, the views of everyone involved matter: from congregation members and volunteers to employees, clients, people receiving support and relatives. With LamaPoll, you collect this feedback in a structured way – for member-oriented change processes, better services and stronger cooperation. Create parish, employee and satisfaction surveys in just a few minutes: mobile-friendly, anonymous and in line with GDPR requirements, with hosting exclusively in Germany.

Church data protection law: DSG-EKD and KDG

Church organisations are subject to their own data protection laws – Protestant institutions to the DSG-EKD, Catholic institutions to the KDG. LamaPoll supports you in meeting these requirements: with GDPR-compliant processing, hosting exclusively in Germany, anonymous surveys and a data processing agreement. This allows you to run parish, employee and satisfaction surveys without putting the trust of your members and staff at risk.

Surveys for everyone involved in church and social work

From congregation members and volunteers to employees, clients and people receiving support: in churches and social organisations, feedback from all stakeholders matters. With LamaPoll, you survey each target group in a focused way – mobile-friendly, anonymous and in line with GDPR requirements.

Congregation members & believers

Find out how your parish or congregation is perceived, which services and activities are wanted and what expectations your members have. This helps you shape church life and reform projects in a member-oriented way.

Volunteers

Survey volunteers on motivation, support and appreciation. Organisations that take volunteering seriously and involve volunteers retain them over the long term and gain new supporters.

Employees & professional staff

Collect feedback from full-time and part-time employees in administration, childcare, care services and counselling – on working conditions, satisfaction and cooperation. This is an important instrument, especially when skilled staff are in short supply.

Clients, people receiving support & relatives

Measure the satisfaction of parents, patients, residents and relatives in your social facilities. Reliable feedback is the basis for quality and the further development of your services.

Secure and confidential – also under church data protection law

Responses from congregation members, employees and people receiving support are a matter of trust. LamaPoll meets high standards for confidential and reliable surveys – especially for churches and social organisations:

  • Church organisations are subject to their own data protection laws (DSG-EKD, KDG) – LamaPoll supports you in meeting these requirements
  • GDPR-compliant processing and hosting exclusively in Germany
  • Anonymous surveys – especially important for honest feedback in small parishes, congregations and teams
  • Mobile-optimised: invite people by email, link or QR code – for example in the parish newsletter, on a noticeboard or after the service

Parish surveys & member feedback

Survey your parish or congregation on services, activities and expectations. A clear picture of opinion helps you initiate member-oriented changes and strengthen contact with your community base.

We use LamaPoll in different areas. Our academy uses it for surveys after online and offline courses, for evaluation, collecting statistical data and further developing the course offering. Compared with our former paper questionnaires, LamaPoll has made this much easier. The tool is also used at schools for feedback from pupils and teachers. We also use LamaPoll for feedback surveys after events and for internal employee surveys.

LamaPoll helps us adapt our prevention projects on bullying in schools to actual needs. Through the anonymous and secure survey tool, children and young people often have the chance for the first time to speak openly about their situation. This gives us a realistic picture of the conditions in each class.
