Hi Abigail

 

 

Looking for fantastic books during #VolunteersWeek2021? Look no further than The Complete Volunteer Management Handbook, you'll also get a free copy of Recruiting Volunteers when you buy it.

 

 

‘There is a Greek proverb that says, 'a civilisation flourishes when people plant trees under which they will never sit'. If you need a roadmap and guide on your journey in helping people plant those metaphorical trees through donating their time and talents to your cause – then this is the book you need to read. It’s packed full of expert advice and handy hints and tips to help you get your volunteer management right for your organisation and perhaps most importantly your volunteers.’

Alan Murray, Head of Volunteering and Employee Engagement, RSPB

 

 

What it's about: Engaging people, giving them a great experience and balancing the needs of your organisation is an essential skill. These are the key strategic issues covered in this comprehensive guide for recruiting, selecting, involving and rewarding volunteers effectively.

 

Ensure you get it right by gaining from the knowledge and experience gathered in this single volume by four of the most experienced experts on volunteering.

 

Who it's for: In print since 1994, this completely revised fourth edition captures the essential information for anyone managing volunteers. If you’ve just been given responsibility for volunteers in addition to your main role, or you’re a dedicated manager of volunteers, this book is for you. It will also be useful for those in other management and senior management roles to understand the work involved in effectively engaging volunteers.
