On Tuesday 7th Ocotber 2025 we held “Volunteering Is Changing And So Must We” training session online with Rob Jackson. This session was the first out of 3 on volunteering. This session looked at some of the key ways in which society is changing and how these changes affect volunteerism.
In fact, it’s always changing because volunteering doesn’t exist in a bubble. How we all live impacts how we all think about and engage with volunteering. In this free online session, Rob Jackson outlined the big shifts in volunteering today.

Our second session was on “Recruitment and Selection” which took place on Tuesday 21st October. In this workshop Rob shared a five stage process for effective volunteer recruitment, starting with tips for creating effective and attractive volunteer roles. We also explored why good customer service is an essential part of engaging new volunteers. Participants left the session with with tips and actions that will help their recruitment efforts in future.
