Sheffield Volunteer Standard

If you are involving volunteers, apply for the Sheffield Volunteer Standard, a locally developed quality mark recognising good practice in volunteer management. 

Advertise your roles

Advertising your roles is a service we offer free of charge but we do have minimum quality standardsthat we expect from organisations. This is to ensure that volunteers will be safe, supported and benefit from volunteering.  See our advertise roles page for more information.  Roles are advertised on our website, in our monthly bulletin and at the drop-in sessions.  Trustee roles can also be advertised here. See our Recruiting Trustees page.

Good practice Resources

We can support you with the development of good practice through direct face to face support and written guides e.g. DBS, Expenses, Insurance or our Nuts and Bolts guide to developing inclusive roles. Click here to view these resources. 

Networking

The Volunteer Centre facilitates the development of good practice in volunteering through learning from the many organisations we work with. Our Volunteer Coordinators Forums are a great place to keep updated, network and get peer support. Click here for more details.

If you have any questions about volunteering or volunteer management see our Good Practice resources or contact us and we will be happy to help.  If you are setting up a new programme, new to managing volunteers or new in your post you can book in a 1-1 meeting with the Centre Manager.
