How can you support volunteers and enhance their contribution to your

to stick around longer and act as superb ambassadors for your
organisation and its volunteering opportunities.

What you will gain from the day

* Evaluation of where you are now

The cost for this training day is £70 including handouts, draft
policies and forms and refreshments. Bookings that are made and paid
for 31st March get a discounted rate of £50 and those made before 30th
April, a discounted rate of £60.
