Value Volunteer Management Campaign
Time to Celebrate Success!
Volunteering England's 'Value Volunteer Management' campaign has been aiming to raise the profile of volunteer management as a profession, and to encourage key decision-makers in volunteer-involving organisations to recognise, support and invest in volunteer management.
But with the campaign coming to an end in March 2011, it’s time to assess its impact. How successful has it been and how far has it reached?
