This is a simple statement that we are all guilty of racing past!
Who would volunteer to be a “Leader” or “Committee Member” without any more explanation? Not many people.
- What is it that you need help with?
- How much time is involved?
- Do I need any particular skills?
- Will it require a uniform?
- Will I need a DBS check and have to complete training
- How will my volunteering make a difference?
- How will I be supported, for example, with training to learn any skills I need?
If you can answer those clearly and positively, you’ve got the basis for an excellent advert.
