This is the most excellent training that I have been on both in terms of content and presentation style. The role plays were appropriate, relevant and properly contextualised. I can take away everything I learnt and apply it straight away.

Manipulation or Motivation? How to make the most of the time, skills and energy of your volunteers

Churches and community projects rely heavily on volunteers

But are we really looking after and listening to them?

Do we make the most of their potential?

This regularly-hosted interactive and fun training day equips those involved in churches and Christian community projects who manage volunteers. It is practical and realistic so that you can implement what you learn straightaway. Our aim is that you leave equipped and encouraged to make the most of your volunteers.

Materials from the day:

Manipulation or Motivation: powerpoint presentation

Manipulation or Motivation: handout notes

I valued it all - great balance of listening, sharing, interaction, rest, fun. Good time spent on each section too.

The day exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the practical and clear information which has enabled me to identify some of my weaknesses. I will go home and establish clearer guidelines for our volunteers.

This day focuses on:

Understanding motivations: why do people volunteer for Christian projects?
Why the best projects are full of volunteers
Top tips on how to motivate others
The art of communication and how to deal with tricky issues
