Welcoming new volunteers

It's really important that our new volunteers are given a warm welcome into the county and this starts with the first communication. Commissioners are instrumental in this, meeting with them to find out what they are hoping do in a volunteer role and how they can help us, but also in finding out about that volunteer and what we can give back to them in return. Volunteering is a two-way process and should benefit the volunteer and the organisation.

Warm welcome booklet

The warm welcome booklet has been designed to give a new volunteer lots of useful information to help her settle into the organisation. Our Gloucestershire version of this booklet can be downloaded below and either shared electronically with volunteers or printed and shared as a paper booklet.
