Recruitment Isn't The Answer October 2026

Everyone knows recruitment can be tricky today. But the answer isn't simply trying harder to recruit. We need better, more flexible, opportunities that fit with people's interests, motivations and availabilities. We need a culture in our organisations that welcomes and nurtures the potential of volunteers, not one that sees them as being nice but not essential. This isn't just down to the Volunteer Engagement Professional - everyone needs to embrace it. In short we need a sea change in our organisations. This session will explore what needs to happen and how we as leaders can get the ball rolling.
