Searching for Halton’s Informal Volunteer Leaders

Volunteer Centre Halton@HVA is looking for Halton’s Informal Volunteer Leaders (IVL).

Can you help?


Volunteer Centre Halton has been commissioned by Capacity Builders (a national project that works to ensure voluntary sector organisations in England are able to access high quality advice and support) to look at good practice in volunteering.

Through this Merseyside wide project we will be trying to discover what makes a good volunteer leader. What skills do they have? What support do they get? Factor X! How can we help them develop new skills and develop their good practice?

We would like to invite groups from Voluntary, Community, Faith and Sport groups to participate in this project, which will involve a first meeting of either a 1/2 hr one to one meetings or a group meeting at an appropriate venue. The Informal Volunteer Leaders will help us by answering a number of questions either individually or as part of a group discussion. Later in the project, there will be an opportunity (should people wish)to participate in an ongoing training programme.

Do you know anyone who fits our criteria?

· Ideally, their groups should be:-

· Volunteer led.

· Not registered with a Volunteer Centre.

· Have one identifiable person you would contact about “people organizing”.

· Active in their field.

· Forward thinking/approachable.

· Commitment to improvement.

· Offer a clear Community benefit.

· Greater Merseyside based or impacting.

· Willing to participate (probably).

If you would like further information or if you can suggest any suitable people please contact me.
