We are excited to be presenting this webinar on Wednesday and sharing tips to get you started on applying Lean Six Sigma to improving your volunteer recruitment process. We hope you will join us.

It's not every day you get to meet with these two in person! Many thanks to Andy and Tony from Better Impact Inc. for listening to my experience as a Better Impact Certified Consultant.

Are you struggling to recruit volunteer support at your organisation? I've written a blog post for Better Impact Inc. all about improving the volunteer recruitment journey which benefits both the volunteers and the volunteer involving organisations.

Always wonderful to catch up with Andy Fryar and Didier Stobart from Better Impact Inc. real life! Day two of the Volunteering Victoria conference is set to be another cracker of a day! #VVConference2024

We are loving listening to Ross Wyatt from Think Impact challenge the concept of volunteerism for a post-colonial world. So, does volunteerism as we know it break down or reinforce power imbalances? Broadly, we think it reinforces power imbalances for formal volunteering, much less so for informal volunteering. What do you think? #VVConference2024
