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!
