Good practice

Volunteering with Crisis is a year-round activity and as a volunteer involving organisation, Crisis is committed to ensuring that volunteers are supported, developed and rewarded during the time they spend with us.

To ensure this happens we are involved with a number of initiatives for volunteers and staff who work with volunteers across the organisation.

Good practice initiatives for volunteers:

• Crisis volunteer awards
• Volunteer training programme
• Volunteer forum
• Structured recruitment and induction process
• Support and supervision
• Travel & lunch expenses

Good practice initiatives for staff:

• Volunteering good practice forum
• Volunteer management training programme
Monthly hints and tips e-mail to all staff
