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!

Dozens of people joined in, collecting litter, planting flowers, and chatting with neighbours they hadn’t met before. It created a real sense of pride and connection in our community, and we’re now planning to make it a regular event. It was great to see how a simple idea could bring people together and make a lasting difference.” Selected stories will be shared across Voluntary Norfolk’s social media channels between 13-20 May .

Corporate Volunteering: Making it work for you

Corporate volunteering is when businesses support their employees to volunteer their time or skills with voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. This can include team volunteering days, specific support (such as IT, marketing or finance), mentoring, or longer-term partnerships. For VCSEs, corporate volunteering can offer extra capacity, practical help, and access to professional skills that may otherwise be difficult to resource. It can also help build relationships with local employers and raise the organisation’s profile. However, corporate volunteering takes time and coordination. One-off volunteering days or poorly matched offers can create additional work if they don’t align with organisational needs. Clear communication, realistic expectations and well-planned opportunities are key to ensuring volunteering delivers genuine benefit rather than added pressure. When done well, corporate volunteering can be a positive and mutually beneficial partnership that supports organisational goals and community impact. Is This Corporate Volunteering Opportunity Right for Us? Before saying yes, consider: Organisational Fit ☐ Does this activity meet a real organisational need or priority? ☐ Does it align with our mission, values and current capacity? ☐ Is this the right time for us to host volunteers? ☐ Would we need to create specific roles? Capacity and Resources ☐ Do we have time to plan, supervise and support the volunteers? ☐ Can we provide a meaningful activity within the time offered? ☐ Are staff or volunteers available on the proposed date? Practicalities and Risk ☐ Have we considered health and safety, safeguarding and insurance? ☐ Is the activity accessible and appropriate for the group size? ☐ Are tools, materials and space available? ☐ Do all your roles involve checks? Maybe look at creating something new like help with marketing, flyers or fundraising. Managing Expectations ☐ Are roles and outcomes clearly defined and agreed in advance? ☐ Have we been clear about boundaries and what we cannot offer? ☐ Is there an opportunity to build a longer-term relationship? If you decide that offering corporate opportunities is a good fit for your organisation, getting it seen is where we can help. Get InVOLved Norfolk has specific tags to ensure your roles get in front of the corporates that are looking for them. Add opportunities that are tagged as suitable for corporate volunteers, these can be shared to their accounts as well as sent to them directly in targeting mailings. If you need any extra support engaging with corporate volunteers or with using the Get InVOLved Norfolk platform, do reach out to us via the button below.
