Never underestimate the value of a strong Board of Trustees to lead your organisation. Lots of food for thought here by @ThirdSector on encouraging diversity of age and the importance of representation: bit.ly/3A4sU9J #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare
Did you know volunteering is genuinely good for your health? @NCVO's report Time Well Spent outlines that 77% of volunteers felt volunteering had improved their mental health and wellbeing bit.ly/3A4RirS #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare
If you've ever considered a #career in #VolunteerManagement in #PalliativeCare or #HospiceCare, we've spotted a great #vacancy out there at @supportCHAS 🌟CHAS , Scotland, Volunteering Development Manager, Deadline 19th April (TODAY!): bit.ly/3o9fjuY
There's no doubt that offering online opportunities is a great way to engage new volunteers, but the question is how?! @volpronet explore how to give them the wow factor #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare open.spotify.com/episode/3hvpwr…
A difficult but important article that highlights the importance of respect, communication and fair transparent processes in volunteering programmes(& the significant risks when things don't go well). #VolunteerManagement #LoVols bit.ly/3Ud5kkvp
Volunteer management isn't always easy but AVSM offers connections, collaboration and camaraderie. Membership gives you access to our nationwide network of members who meet regionally to learn, share & discuss: avsm.org.uk/membership/ #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare
If you're looking for extra support on how to involve young volunteers safely, check out @NSPCC 's brilliant Learning Resources, which include help risk assessing, parental consent and safeguarding: bit.ly/42PhgfZ #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare
Do you use job descriptions or role profiles for your volunteers? 🔦This week we're putting a spotlight on being clear about the distinction between volunteers and staff: bit.ly/40faoqz #HospiceCare #LoVols #VolunteerManagement

"What ultimately matters is love." Absolutely fantastic to see hospice volunteers being showcased in this article about what can be learnt from end of life care: theguardian.com/society/2023/m… #LoVols #HospiceCare #VolunteerManagement
The modern hospice movement was started by Dame Cicely Saunders. Today #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate her & all the other women who contribute to end of life care through their expertise, talents & huge hearts. #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare #IWD2023
If reviewing your volunteer recruitment is on the to-do list this year, check out @volpronet's Volunteer Nation podcast on why your volunteer recruitment isn't working. Loads of food for thought: spoti.fi/3ZqyM8p #VolunteerManagement #LoVols #HospiceCare
"Those that don’t manage volunteers have as much impact on the volunteer's experience as those that do" Peter Nesbitt from @StCHospice and Interim AVSM Chair, shares his experiences of #VolunteerManagement: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… #LoVols #HospiceCare
⚡️Volunteers aged 14+ are a vital part of many hospices but are you clear on your obligations? One of which is to check if they need a child work permit issued via the local authority. Find out more here: bit.ly/3EFppJG #LoVols #VolunteerManagement #HospiceCare
🖥️Essential reading alert - @NCVO have published their latest report into the impact of the cost of living on charities and volunteering #TheRoadAhead. #VolunteerManagement #HospiceCare ncvo.org.uk/news-and-insig…
