We have developed the Toolkits to fulfill the need of something when you don’t want a training pack or a self-study workbook but just need relevant information on managing a specific area of your
volunteer programme.
The Toolkits are made up of information sheets, help sheets, templates, checklists and forms, plus links to useful web sites that together make a comprehensive toolkit to cover all your volunteer management needs. Just dip in and out and choose the bits you need when you need them.
The activity sheets can also be used during training sessions.
They are multi-licence products so you will have unlimited printing rights for use by staff and volunteers within the purchasing branch of the organisation.

In answer to requests for resources to deliver more general information workshops to a wider audience, including community groups and volunteers we have developed these resources. These Workshop Packs are intended to deliver an informal 2 – 3 hour session. Contents are the same as our Training Pack Series. First in the series is A Workshop for Community Development. Further titles will be available later in the year and we can devise a Workshop Pack for your identified need – contact us for an initial discussion.

Key Facts for volunteer management – a series of helpful ‘how to’ guides that gives you the facts you need to do your job. Presented in an easy read format with key tips, easy tasks and get you going ideas. This series will become key reading for those in the voluntary sector. These e-books will be available to download after check-out.

Download only.
For times when you cannot schedule a training session but want to keep volunteers engaged. This series allows self-study of a particular aspect of volunteering and should be backed up with face to face meeting and feedback sessions.
The Self-study Workbooks comes in pdf format only and are multi-licence products giving you unlimited printing rights for use by the volunteers within the purchasing branch of the organisation. Priced at £8.00 each we believe these are excellent value for all organisations wanting to ensure their volunteers have covered a specific subject.
