HOW WILL YOU RECRUIT VOLUNTEERS?
Reasons to Volunteer• Young volunteers need to:-• enhance their CV or a university application• develop new skills• meet people socially
• Older volunteers may want to:- • “give something back” to their club• develop interests after retirement
Why Volunteer (16 to 25 year olds)Among 200 of the UK leading businesses:
• 73 per cent of employers would employ a candidate with volunteer experience over one without
• 94 per cent of employers believe that volunteering can add to skills
• 58 per cent say that voluntary work experience can actually be more valuable than experience gained in paid employment

Posting opportunities
The majority of opportunities on Do-it come from local Volunteer Centres in England. These organisations have been provided with hardware, software and training so that they can upload their vacancies onto the do-it database. In addition, some national organisations post their opportunities directly on to www.do-it.org.uk.
Local organisations in England, recruiting volunteers in a specific geographic area, should get in touch with their local Volunteer Centre (VC) who will post opportunities on their behalf.

Some funding ideas from Nat West

• Running your club’s finances: a back-to-basics guide• Planning your club’s budget• Should you become a Community Amateur Sports Club?• How I do it: the Treasurer’s story• Sources of funding• DIY fundraising• What can your members contribute?
· Do not assume sponsorship is fixed income, but rather seen as the ‘icing on the cake’
· Big benefit is that you are not competing with other clubs!
· Sponsorship packages attract investment to a club in return for promotional opportunities
· The best candidates are national companies that have a presence in your community and local firms that are keen to advertise their services. Attracting sponsors and maintaining sponsor-club relationships is a demanding job and may request an investment in marketing material
· You may want to offer different levels of sponsorship, so it is not reliant on one big sponsor to fulfil its sponsorship targets
Sponsorship
How to write a good sponsorship proposalBeing proactive and professional can help secure valuable funding from businesses
· Create a professional package - well-presented document indicates professionalism in the club.
· Make an attractive offer - what can you can deliver to a sponsor e.g. shirt branding, signage, website links, programme advertising, VIP seats, special events, newsletter sponsorship
· Clearly specify the level of finance or other support you expect from a sponsor.
· Offer a range of opportunities and costs, in order to attract different levels of support.
