Are volunteers vital in the running of your organisation and activities? By engaging more volunteers, you can break larger roles into smaller more manageable tasks and offer exciting opportunities to help people grow and develop.

In this workshop, we'll explore how to create a positive volunteering culture and share top tips for the '3 Rs' of volunteering: recruiting, retaining, and rewarding.

We'll help you develop plans, identify actions to improve your volunteer experience and signpost you to valuable resources, short films and real-life case studies.

• develop a positive culture of volunteering within your organisation
