Volunteer Management Workshops At Volunteer Centre Greenwich we are committed to giving our members the easiest access to information and knowledge about best practice in the involvement of volunteers within your volunteering programmes. Whether you are a small project, social enterprise, large organisation, a well-established organisation or just starting out we know that time is limited and attending a full course of workshops can be a barrier to obtaining the information you need. We have condensed our best practice workshops to make them more accessible, giving you a quick in-depth overview and knowledge of the information you need to involve volunteers successfully. Topics are examined from a legal perspective, as well as current best practice in policies and procedures and dealing with difficult situations, whilst also keeping in mind the benefits of a positive volunteering experience for both the volunteer and the organisation. To look into these subjects in more depth, you can still attend a full workshop that focuses on issues relating to these subjects.
