Volunteer Managers the land over know that their work is crucial in underpinning the thousands upon thousands of people who volunteer. And now it's time for a bit of recognition of that!
Volunteering England’s Value Volunteer Management Campaign aims to increase awareness of the value and importance of investing in volunteer management. Many organisations have already shown support, including the BBC, Microsoft, Barnardo’s, RSPB, National Trust and PDSA. Find out what’s in it for your organisation at http://www.volunteering.org.uk/valuevolunteermanagement
Volunteer managers / coordinators might also be interested in accessing the new Volunteer Management Portal on the Volunteering England website. This is a new support resource for people managing volunteers, providing over a thousand links training and development opportunities, information on support, best practice guidance and other resources across England.

A big thank you to Voluntary Action Sheffield for blogging about these two exciting new volunteer management initiatives we've developed. It's great to see so many organisations getting on board and endorsing the Value Volunteer Management Campaign - the more publicity it gets the more momentum it will gain, which will help to promote greater awareness of the value and importance of investing in volunteer management.
