Supporting Volunteers: A guide for local groups

Do you experience challenges in recruiting and retaining volunteers? Are you finding that the traditional ways of doing things are less effective than they were? Could you do with some ‘easy wins’ and fresh ideas to help inspire you?


Over the last few months members of Norfolk & Waveney Vision for Volunteering have been meeting to address what best practice looks like, and how organisations may need to change their ways of recruiting and recognising volunteers. This partnership of local delivery and support organisations from the voluntary and community sector, community-focused local government officers and other volunteer involving organisations have researched and developed Supporting Volunteers – a guide for smaller organisations. The process has been supported by Voluntary Norfolk and Norfolk County Council.


Free copies of the guide are now available from Health Information Leaflet Service where you can order multiple copies and they will be delivered to a convenient location.

An accessible pdf can be accessed via the button below. Find other resources and helpful via our resources page here.

Flourish Youth Awards for Volunteering and Participation

What is the Flourish Youth Awards for Volunteering and Participation?


The Flourish Youth Awards for Volunteering and Participation recognises young people’s volunteering and participation and the impact it has on their community and on their own personal development. The awards are an expansion of the Norfolk Youth Award that was originally set up by Norfolk County Council's Youth Service. While the name has changed since its inception, the award's main purpose to celebrate young people's achievements remains the same.


Linking the award to the Flourish framework:

Momentum has decided to join these awards to Norfolk County Council’s Flourish ambition. This objective has been inspired by the things young people have said are most important to them:


  • Family and friends
  • Access to learning
  • The opportunity to lead a good life
  • Being understood
  • Building resilience
  • Respect for their individuality
  • Feeling safe
  • Being healthy


If you are an organisation that works with young people who volunteer or get involved in participation work, find out more below!

Could you help shape the necessary changes in Inclusive Volunteering?

Inclusive Volunteering Learning Community On the back of the recent Report and Recommendations for Inclusive Volunteering: Volunteering For Health Summary and the subsequent conversations at the webinar, we're inviting those with professional or lived experience of Health Inequalities and Volunteering to an Inclusive Volunteering Learning Community so we can better develop the inclusive volunteering practice that volunteers with health inequalities tell us they need. The group will be peer led & meet for an hour every couple of months to help co-produce the learning or support we need. Both lived and professional experience will be central to us moving forward. Our aim is to address the Key Recommendations from the Report in the link above; identifying what we need support with and where we might have resources (i.e. toolkits, templates, guides etc) that can be shared with each other - generating some practical solutions for inclusive volunteering. We might look at training needs, clear descriptors/inclusive comms, support resources, social bonding, co-produced volunteering or anything else you find relevant. A person-centred approach will mean different types of materials/resources for different people and their support needs. Please contact me to join us or to ask further questions: Cata.Parrish@voluntarynorfolk.org.uk

How can volunteering be more inclusive?

How can volunteering be more inclusive? As part of the national and regional Volunteering for Health programme, Norfolk & Waveney CICs and charities are working with people with health inequalities to explore and address their barriers and enablers to volunteering, during 2025-26. We are working specifically with neuro divergent people including those with Learning Disabilities, autism and other types of neuro-diversity, as well as young people with care experience. We've been helping to co-produce supported volunteering and volunteering-readiness projects with participants and organisations to really understand what helps them to volunteer, and what stops them. We gathered the learning from the first round of projects and share the Key Findings below. We also begin to discuss how we can best develop good inclusive volunteering during a webinar, linked below. Read our latest Reports and Recommendations on Inclusive Volunteering at : Get InVOLved Innovation Fund | Get Involved Skills Watch the webinar where we launched the Recommendations and shared the learning about making volunteering more inclusive from the Volunteering for Health Innovations projects in Norfolk & Waveney: https://youtu.be/32kS8LOc5Hg Read about the specially commissioned Community Voices project which documents the conversations with young people from care and their communities, and their thoughts on volunteering: Get InVOLved Innovation Fund | Get Involved Skills Coming Up....what happens now? How do we respond, as the VCFSE and Health Sectors to the Recommendations that people with Health Inequalities have told us?
