Volunteering and social landlords: the absolute essentials - One day course

Everything you need to know in just one day


Volunteering is a hot topic. It is central to the government’s Big Society agenda.

A majority of the population do it, and many more say they would do it if they were asked.

At a time of service cuts and pay freezes more and more social landlords are turning to volunteers to help them to be able to continue providing support and services to their tenants.

Volunteer contributions can be as wide ranging and as varied as the roles you offer them. There are huge benefits to be gained for both the organization and the volunteer, but there are also pitfalls which is why this may be the most valuable invitation you get this year 

Volunteering and social landlords: the absolute essentials is an entirely new one day workshop. What makes it special is not just the subject, but the fact that you learn from five highly knowledgeable speakers and practitioners.

It isn’t a day of vague theory. It’s highly practical. Every speaker brings ideas and experience to solve problems you currently face. Together they give you a guided tour of the requirements, issues – and, above all, the key things that make volunteering work.

What’s more, with a strict limit on the number of delegates this is a unique opportunity to get all your questions answered. You discover just about everything you could possibly need to know – the main internal organizational issues, how you manage a volunteer programme and how to measure whether it’s working. 

In one highly relevant workshop, topics to be covered are:

• Why is volunteering so crucial for social landlords now and what are some of the key issues involved?  
• How do you set up a volunteering programme from scratch and than sell it to staff?
• What policies are you going to need?
• How to manage and co-ordinate an existing volunteer programme
• Everything social landlords need to know about about the law and volunteering
• How do you calculate the Return on Investment of your volunteer programme?
• How do you measure the impact of your volunteering programmes 
• How do you involve young people in your volunteer programmes
