Do you recognise any of the following scenarios:

1. You are considering taking on volunteers for the first time and don't know where to start.
   • You or your members of staff are stretched to the limit?
   • Someone has decreed 'let there be volunteers!' in your organisation?
   • You want to know how to manage staff-volunteer relationships?
2. You have never considered using volunteers as you don't have the time to train and support them.
   • Are you aware of the potential benefits of volunteers to your organisation?
   • Have you had 'bad' experiences with volunteers in the past or is it just fear of the unknown?
3. You have volunteers helping your organisation already.
   • You need more of the right type of volunteers to deliver your service?
   • You find it difficult to retain volunteers?
   • Have you thought about taking on young people as volunteers?
4. You have some new committee members.
   • Are the group operating as a team?
   • Are there tensions about their roles as committee as well as being volunteers?

If you fall into any of the above categories or have other issues to raise in relation to managing volunteers, Volunteer Centre Fife is here to help deliver training or adapt programmes of support to meet your needs.

Effective volunteer management is simple in theory, but subtle in operation!
