Welcome to the Good Practice Bank!

The Good Practice Bank aims to improve information sharing and reduce duplication within the volunteering sector.

The Good Practice Bank has Core Themes which deal with general good practice on managing volunteers, and Specialist Themes which focus on more specific topics.

In each theme you will find articles, information sheets, case studies and links to other helpful guidance or external websites. Most sections include example and template documents to help you develop your own volunteer programme.

Complementary resource from Goldstar

Our partners at Goldstar have created a good practice resource of materials used by projects funded by Goldstar to involve volunteers from socially excluded groups. Visit it here and learn from the experience of others!

We include material on the Good Practice Bank because we feel it broadly reflects good practice, but this does not mean that we endorse every aspect of every document. If you have any questions, please call our information line (freephone/textphone 0800 028 3304, 10.30am -12.30pm and 2-4pm Monday to Friday) or send us an email.

We have tried to credit all organisations whose work is featured in the Good Practice Bank. Please email us if you would like us to amend or remove links to any of your organisation's resources.
