Priorities for funding
The majority of voluntary organisations in Scotland depend on volunteers for the services they deliver, the activities they run and the huge range of work they carry out in their local communities. GO4Volunteering helped the management committees and staff of local grassroots organisations to build their skills around recruiting and supporting their volunteers. Examples of what were funded were:
- training programmes for voluntary management committees;
- training programmes for volunteers;
- training programmes for volunteers;
- visits to more established organisations to share their experience of what works well with volunteering;
- consultation with volunteers so that organisations know more about what volunteers need and value;
- publications, subscriptions or the cost of undertaking investors in Volunteers through Volunteer Development Scotland;
- the cost of professional support or consultancy to help develop useful volunteer policies or training packs, including policies on equality and diversity.
