Why Choose This Course

Year Volunteer Retention Rate (%)

2022 72

Effective Event Staffing and Volunteer Management are crucial for volunteer retention in the UK's competitive non-profit sector. A recent survey revealed that volunteer retention rates have improved, rising from 65% in 2021 to 72% in 2022. This positive trend highlights the growing recognition of the importance of robust volunteer management practices. Addressing volunteer needs, providing clear communication, offering training, and creating a supportive environment are key elements in improving retention. This ensures continued support for vital community events. Proper event staffing, utilizing skilled professionals alongside dedicated volunteers, reduces workload pressure, improves morale, and ultimately fosters longer-term commitments.

Therefore, strategic investment in volunteer management is a key indicator of an organization's long-term sustainability and ability to deliver impactful events.
