Costs
This event is free to attend but to encourage attendance and try and ensure a good turnout to benefit all delegates, we will charge a non-attendance fee of £25.00 per delegate. By submitting a booking for this event you agree to pay this fee for those delegates who have places booked but do not attend.
Cancellations can be received up to 5 working days ahead of the event, thus avoiding non-attendance fees. A cancellation will only be valid if we have confirmed it with you. You can send somebody else in place of a booked delegate without incurring a non-attendance fee.

Course Content
Whether you don't yet have any volunteers or have been working with volunteers for a while, getting these basics in place will reap great rewards. You'll be able to head off any issues with volunteers not understanding their responsibilities and you'll be clear about yours.
Included in the course:
- What is Volunteering?
- What are the mutual rights and responsibilities of volunteers and organisations?
- How can I include volunteering when strategic planning?
- What is a volunteer policy and why do I need one?
- What should I include in volunteer role descriptions?
- What are volunteer agreements and why do I need them?
- What is the Volunteer Friendly Award?
