Vale Volunteer Bureau Annual Report

The “V Word”

As a volunteer bureau we were constantly being asked for information on a wide range of good practice issues from recruiting organisations. In order to address this need we came up with the idea of producing a newsletter that would be a useful tool for organisations that involve volunteers in their work.

We have named the newsletter the “V Word” and this will be produced on a quarterly basis. It will be emailed to organisations and also available to be down loaded from our website.

Report to Vale Volunteer Bureau on youth volunteering work 

This report was prepared in advance of the commencement of a new post on youth volunteering as described in a proposal dated 07-05-07 parts 1 and 2.

The first part of the work was to extract from the report "good for them! Good for us!" some basic advice to organisations that might help them improve their practice and administrative processes in order to encourage young volunteers.
