It’s a resource that no volunteer manager should be without!

Reviews:

“This book is a one stop shop for understanding and overcoming the issues related to both the recruitment and management of volunteers.  It is invaluable for anyone just starting out in volunteer management and is equally useful as a reference guide for people who have been working in the sector for years.  Interesting, accessible and comprehensive” 

Sarah Hodgetts, East Sussex Volunteer Development Officer

“Going for the Ronseal approach, The Volunteer Manager’s Handbook does exactly what it says on the tin. The chapter headings take the reader through the entire life cycle of the volunteer and the idea is that the text can be used by the beginner as a step-by-step guide or be consulted by the more experienced, whether they be volunteers themselves or paid hands, as and when required”

Mick Owen, The Leisure Review
