## Attracting the people you need.

**Does your charity have a strategy to recruit the volunteers it needs, plans in
place to make them feel valued and want to stay, and policies to ensure you and 
they are legally covered?**

Everyone gains when you do it properly. This book shows you how.

Finding the right people, with the right skills, and then keeping them is a challenge.
This book breaks it down into easy-to-understand steps.

 * Decide on the volunteers you need and learn where to find them.
 * Creating attractive messages to get volunteers on board.
 * How to offer valuable, satisfying and diverse roles that meet your own and your
   volunteers’ needs.
 * Your volunteering strategy in the wider context of your organisation’s work.
