Commissioner Support - Volunteer Retention for Commissioners

Join us for a peer support session for commissioners at all levels, with an emphasis on volunteer retention.

Explore what makes volunteers stay, why they may leave, and how we can create positive volunteering experiences. We will look at the importance of a warm welcome, recognising warning signs, having difficult conversations and practical ways commissioners can support volunteer retention.

• Understand key factors that influence volunteer retention.
• Recognise potential barriers and warning signs that a volunteer may be struggling.
• Explore approaches to supportive conversations with volunteers.
• Identify practical actions they can take to improve the volunteer experience and strengthen retention
