A step by step guide to setting up a volunteer project

The perfect workshop leader gives you a beginner's step by step guide in just one day


Volunteering is a hot topic.

At a time of service cuts and pay freezes more and more organisations are turning to volunteers to help them to be able to continue providing support and services to their communities.

There are huge benefits to be gained for both the organization and the volunteer, which why we have been running a number of workshops for some time on volunteering and social landlords.

But the thing I have realised is that the topic most people want covered is a simple step by step guide to setting a volunteer project.    

In one highly relevant workshop, we’ll cover:

• What are the benefits of involving volunteers

• Why are you choosing to involve volunteers? 

• Where do you start and how do you resource a volunteering project

• How to sell your volunteering project to staff

• What you have to know about CRB checks 

• Where do they fit in the organization?

• Policy and procedures and doing things in a safe and legal way 

• How to recruit volunteers

• How to manage volunteers effectively and how to retain them

• What happens when things go wrong?

• Recording volunteer involvement

Why not run this course in house? The price is fixed no matter how many attend. Email me at rod@rodlaird.co.uk
