Museum Development Midlands (MDM) is running an evening online training session in January 2025 around how Museum Trustees can recruit volunteers.
Many of the Midland region’s museums rely on volunteers and since the Covid-19 pandemic it’s been increasingly tough for industrial museums across England to recruit and retain the volunteer capacity they need to operate. This reflects a wider picture across the voluntary sector with surveys suggesting that the majority of organisations are finding volunteer recruitment difficult. In this tough climate, what can museums do to attract and retain the committed, skilled, volunteers that they need?
This practical session of ideas and approaches to volunteer recruitment will be held on 20 January 2025, online, 6pm to 8.30pm. More details here.
