What is the cost of volunteering?

There can often be a misconception that volunteering means free, whilst in reality it costs money to recruit, train, support, and celebrate volunteers

Our recent survey found that none of the organisations we spoke to had any funding specifically for volunteer management, and that most underestimated how much they spend on volunteer management (DBS checks, training, room hire and refreshments for meetings, staff and volunteer time)

When volunteers aren't well managed, it's much more likely they'll leave, creating more work when it comes to recruiting and training new volunteers

Investing in volunteer management means having more volunteers, who are happier and better trained, so that you can make a much bigger impact on your clients

What difference would it make to your organisation to have a dedicated, paid volunteer co-ordinator?

Rotary Newton Abbot has launched a Pop-Up Food Market initiative. The first one is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 3rd December at Newton Abbot Racecourse. 10.30 - 12.30. More Food Markets will take place in 2026.

It's an amazing concept primarily based around saving fresh food from going into landfill but as a spin-off providing discounted quality food to those struggling with the cost of living. The cost is £30 payable on the day, (cash or card is accepted) and you will receive a trolley of food valued at approximately £100+.

There are no eligibility criteria. There are only 125 spaces. Please spread the word! Further information and registration details are on the flyer. Devon & Cornwall Food Action - DCFA
