1. Investigate resources

Check out existing online resources for managing volunteers, visit www.voluntarymatters3.org or www.volunteering.org.uk.

2. Plan a volunteer policy

Write a list of main headings or subject areas that should go into a volunteer policy. Check this against your existing volunteer policy - can you improve on it? Look at http://www.volunteering.org.uk/

3. Write a job advert

Write an advert for volunteers for your organisation, remembering to include each of the key areas in recruiting volunteers.
