Have you thought about appealing to families and friend groups who might (or might not) have considered volunteering as a collective activity?

Not every organisation may be able to offer volunteering for family groups, so ask yourself:

  • Can you adapt or offer a role which is family-friendly?
  • Do you have the capacity?
  • Are your existing volunteers able to help you recruit by encouraging a family member to help?
  • Can you provide a positive volunteer culture within your organisation for family volunteers to feel welcome and accepted?

If you answered yes, then there could be some real benefits to your organisation, your volunteers, and your community.
