I hope that you are all having a great summer so far and all those that are having summer camps etc are having a great time or will have a great time when camp arrives. 

At recent County and District meetings one of the main issues that has been raised is adult recruitment.  One of the ways we are supporting with adult recruitment is to work with national HQ staff and deliver adult recruitment workshops.   Adult recruitment workshops content includes

  • The Recruitment Cycle​​
  • Overcoming barriers​​
  • Preparing for recruitment​​​​
  • Getting people through the door​​
  • Finding new volunteers their place​​
  • Welcoming and supporting new volunteers​​
  • Ongoing recruitment

We have agreed the following dates and venues for the sessions.  Sessions will be from 10.00am to 4.00pm (times to be confirmed)

23rd November 2024 – Tynemouth HQ – 80 capacity

There is no cost for attending the sessions.  You will only need to attend one session.  All three sessions will cover the same content.  Sessions are for anyone interested to help with adult recruitment in your group or unit.  Please encourage a couple of your adults from your group unit to attend one of the sessions.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
