Steps to successful volunteering
Making vounteering a success
Five steps to make sports volunteering successful.

Step 1
Analyse your clubs needs and determine if hosting volunteers is suitable.
Check that your club is properly organised and able to manage new volunteers appropriately.
Ensure that adequate provision has been made to pay any agreed expenses to the volunteer whilst commencing club duties.

Step 2
Devise a Job Description and person specification for that role that you would like your volunteers to undertake. The Job Description should detail exactly what tasks that your club is expecting the volunteer to complete

Step 3
Once you have identified your volunteers ask them to complete a registration form and meet with them to discuss both the clubs needs and any individual needs or concerns that they might have.
Ensure that all volunteers are Criminal Records Bureau checked and all relevant references have been undertaken.

Step 4
Ensure that all volunteers are properly inducted and know who to see if any problems or issues arise

Step 5
Make sure that your clubs volunteers have the adequate support and training that they need to go about their tasks and duties. Arrange regular update meetings to discuss and evaluate their role as well identifying any training or additional assistance that might be needed.
