Valuing Volunteers in Hertfordshire
Achieving the volunteering target

There are five things you can do to help increase the profile of Volunteering in Herts:-

  1. Join the Valuing Volunteers in Hertfordshire campaign!
    By using the strap line on your web site, newsletters and other promotional materials you can help promote Volunteering throughout the county. (Font:Franklin Gothic Book - Bold /Italic. Colour R:255 G:153 B:0)

  2. Recognise your volunteers for what they do.
    By thanking your volunteers and giving them recognition for the work they do you can help raise the awareness of volunteering and what it means to be a volunteer.

  3. Encourage your volunteers to be ambassadors
    Word of mouth is one of the best ways of recruiting new volunteers so why not encourage your existing volunteers to promote volunteering to their friends and family?

  4. Help signpost volunteers to local Volunteer Centres
    Do you ever turn away volunteers from your organisation because they do not meet your selection criteria or you do not have a suitable role that is vacant? Do volunteers who have been with you for some time need a change, or to move on? By signposting them to their local Volunteer Centre you can help them find an alternative volunteering position.

  5. Encourage your Local Strategic Partnership to engage in the Campaign
    If you participate in your local strategic partnership make sure this campaign features in discussions.
