For those organisations who use volunteers to support their service and want some support to develop their retention of volunteers.

This informal network session will concentrate on best practice but require those attending to bring their experience, questions and knowledge to the table. We hope that you will go away knowing how to implement volunteer management skills, but also see how it is done in other organisations.

The session will look at:

-What's currently happening in your organisation

-Why you need volunteers , and how you manage them.

-Best Practice – What is it and why should you do it

-Volunteer Perspective - using the 'Time Well Spent' paper to look at why people volunteer and what organisations could do to recruit more and make the experience a better one.
