Volunteer Centre East Riding aims to support the Voluntary and Community Sector organisations by:
Improving Volunteer Management:-
- Give structure to your volunteering organisation
- Enhance the volunteering experience for your volunteers
- Standardise professional processes and procedures across your organisation
- Get the most from your volunteers
- Retain volunteers more effectively
- Reduce potential risks for your volunteers, service users and organisation
- Demonstrate your investment in volunteers to potential funders
Providing resources, advice and guidance to Volunteer Managers:-
- Information and good practice guidance on the development of policy and procedure in respect of managing volunteers
- Developing and promoting volunteering opportunities within the community
- Acting as an independent broker for potential volunteers and volunteer involving organisations
- Helping volunteer involving organisations in the support and management of their volunteers
- Campaigning on issues relevant to volunteering both locally and regionally
- Providing opportunities for networking and communication for the Voluntary and Community Sector
Encouraging good practice for your organisation:-
It is important to spend time creating robust systems that provide a professional structure around the recruitment and management of volunteers of all ages. Cutting corners can lead to disillusionment and a lack of commitment from your volunteers, which could lead to a poor service to clients, that may lead to a reduction in future volunteers. Getting things wrong can also cost your organisation financially by way of legal expense due to civil litigation.
