Your side of the partnership

Making the most of your partnership

Partnership works best when it goes both ways. Three simple habits help volunteers find you and help us show the difference you make.

Keep your roles current

Keep your volunteering roles up to date, and renew them as their closing dates approach.

Reply promptly

Respond to interested volunteers quickly through the JVN Communication Centre, while their enthusiasm is fresh.

What our partners say1 / 6

JVN provides a valuable service that extends well beyond simply matching volunteers with organisations.

Jeremy and John

Jeremy and John were recruited through JVN’s services. John joined us three and a half years ago and Jeremy two and a half years ago, each taking on different roles within the office.

Both have been outstanding volunteers, demonstrating tremendous dedication, reliability and commitment. Their contributions have been so valued that we have nominated them both for Volunteer of the Year awards.

Not only do they provide invaluable support to our teams, but they also actively fundraise in their own right through our annual campaigns. They regularly attend our events, often bringing along new supporters and introducing potential donors to the charity. They have become an integral part of our team.

What I particularly value about JVN

Recruitment support

Rachelle has been extremely helpful in creating eye-catching and engaging volunteer recruitment advertisements. JVN’s expertise in targeting the right audiences has helped us attract suitable candidates for a variety of roles.

Ongoing follow-up

I particularly appreciate that JVN follows up with both organisations and volunteers approximately three months after placement to see how things are progressing. Equally valuable is the support offered when applications have been received but responses or engagement are lacking.

What I particularly value about JVN

One-off volunteering opportunities

On occasions when we have required a group of six volunteers for a specific event, JVN has consistently delivered, provided we have given sufficient notice. This has been enormously helpful.

Volunteer recognition

I was particularly touched when some of our Lifetime Achievement Award recipients were unable to attend the awards ceremony at The Grove. JVN kindly arranged to visit our offices on a separate occasion to present their awards personally. This thoughtful gesture was very much appreciated and meant a great deal to the individuals concerned.

What I particularly value about JVN

Training and development

The courses offered by JVN are extremely useful and provide organisations with greater confidence in managing and supporting volunteers. This is particularly important when challenging situations arise, expectations need to be managed or the changing needs of an organisation require a different approach.

Overall

Overall, I believe JVN provides a valuable service that extends well beyond simply matching volunteers with organisations. The ongoing support, personal attention, training and recognition of volunteers all contribute to building successful, long-term relationships.

Our experience has certainly demonstrated the value that volunteers bring, not only in terms of the practical support they provide, but also through their enthusiasm, fundraising efforts and commitment to the wider charity.
