Today is the start of Volunteers Week. This year will see celebrations because it’s 40 years since the week started. That’s a lot of volunteering hours that have been celebrated! Over the years I’ve written several blogs about communicating with volunteers. I’ll pop a link in the comments. If you’ve only got time for the edited highlights version, here are 5 things I wanted my organisation to know when I was a volunteer: 1.      Have a clear conversation at the outset to set out not only what is expected of me, but why. 2.      Tailor your communications with me to recognise why I choose to get involved and the role that I play while I’m here. 3.      Share the stories of the difference I am part of. 4.      Listen to me. 5.      Recognise that I’m not available all the time. I’m on a break from any volunteering role at the moment, but I fully intend to get back to it in the future. There are so many benefits to both the individual and the organisation. If you’re a volunteer, what are the things that you enjoy most about it? #VolunteersWeek #volunteering #EffectiveCommunication

🎙️💡 Rethinking the value of volunteers! Darryl Vine from the Firefly Initiative discusses the common misconceptions about the motivations of volunteers and how the sector can shift its perspective. 🌟 🗣️ "Volunteers are often seen as doing things for their own internal benefit, but it’s far from the truth. It’s about the smile on somebody’s face." 🔗 Learn more about the true value of volunteerism: https://hubs.li/Q02Wg8hQ0 #Volunteerism #CommunityImpact #IntrinsicValue #ForgeSummit2024 #FireflyInitiative
