This course is free to attend and is delivered via Zoom.

The course involves two 90 minute workshops on Monday 4th and 11th of November. In order to complete the course you must attend both.

The Volunteer Management workshop is tailored to meet the needs of sport clubs, community sport hubs and community organisations who recruit, develop and retain volunteers. The course will provide insight into best practice when managing volunteers and share experiences across various different groups.

We know that volunteers play a crucial role in the delivery of sport and physical activity and this workshop is designed to support sport organisations by exploring the following three themes:

• Know your volunteers
• Know the environment (organisation/programme/NGB)
• Know volunteering

Workshop Outcomes:

• Recruiting – be able to identify methods of good practice
• Supporting and Developing - recognise the importance of support and development and explore tools to do this
• Recognition and reward - recognise the importance of recognition and reward and explore tools to do this.
• Retention - understand that the sports workforce can be retained by implementing all the above

Tailored to meet the needs of the audience and facilitated to encourage group discussion and peer learning, this workshop is aimed at Club leaders, Hub Leaders, Head Coaches, SGB and Local Authority staff, or anyone who may have a role in the recruitment, development and retention of volunteers in sport.
