As an organisation, there will be many things you’re already doing well. Why not share them with others via expertsinvolunteering.org.uk Email jennifer@glv.org.uk who will upload them onto the resource section of our website as examples of good practice.
If you'd like to continue this Charter Chatter theme please go to Association of Volunteer Managers and start up a discussion e.g When does someone such as a parent, supporting a sports group become considered as a volunteer? Or perhaps you have other issues linked to Sports volunteering? Get an online discussion going and get support from fellow volunteer managers!
