Recruiting and Retaining Volunteers – Training Workshop

Designed to support voluntary and community sector organisations across the county in strengthening their volunteer programmes.

This interactive session will focus on practical strategies for both recruiting new volunteers and retaining existing ones, recognising the vital role volunteers play in sustaining local services and community projects.

Participants will explore best practices in volunteer engagement, learn how to craft effective volunteer roles, and discover ways to attract a diverse range of people to their organisation.

The workshop will also cover key aspects of volunteer motivation and management, including how to build a positive volunteer experience that encourages long-term involvement. Through discussions and shared learning, attendees will gain insights into what inspires people to volunteer, how to keep them engaged, and how to adapt to changing expectations in a post-pandemic environment. Whether you’re new to volunteer management or looking to refresh your approach, this session offers valuable tools and ideas to help your organisation thrive through the power of volunteering.
