Informal approaches to finding and engaging volunteers

For a long time, older people have made up the vast majority of volunteers in the UK, giving up their time to support others. But in recent years, the number of older people in volunteering roles has reduced, leaving gaps in community support where it is most needed.

Although we may not know the exact reason for this drop in numbers, this session will support you to consider your current recruitment and retaining of volunteers within your community spaces.

This workshop from the Good Practice Mentors provides an opportunity for anyone who is looking for a more ‘hands on deck’ approach, to come together to share ideas, best practice and learning you can put into practice to help find new people to support your community groups.
