Strengthening Communities Through Volunteering
Voluntary Action Islington worked on the Strengthening Communities Through Volunteering project for 12 weeks in 2020. The project was funded by the London Community Response Fund/City Bridge Trust. The aim was to help local voluntary organisations support volunteers and local people better at a time when health & safety and safeguarding were essential and remote working was the new normal due the pandemic.
The project provided support and advice to Islington organisations on:
- Recruitment in the context of Covid-19
- Volunteer induction, support and supervision. Methods of remote management.
- Promoting volunteering opportunities online
- Safeguarding in the context of Covid-19
- Staying safe whilst volunteering
