In-person interactive training workshop for rural community-owned businesses. We'll help you develop a tailored volunteer action plan!
About this Event

This in-person session is specifically for committee members or volunteer coordinators for rural community-owned businesses.

Join Plunkett UK in a lively interactive workshop and share peer support to learn how to find and keep those crucial people: volunteers! Delegates will leave with a tailored recruitment action plan, developed during the session.

Most rural community-owned businesses can't function without a healthy volunteer team behind (and sometimes in front of!) the scenes. But it can be a challenge to get people involved and to keep them once they are.

We'll be covering:

  • why people volunteer (and why they don't)
  • different types of volunteering (virtual, fitting it around people's work patterns, buddy volunteering etc)
  • best practice
  • how community engagement and volunteering are linked
  • how to look after volunteers well (and what benefits you can and can't offer)


Booking is restricted to max. 2 delegates from each community business.

This training is FREE for Plunkett Members.
