Organisation case studies

One of the best ways to find out how volunteers can contribute to your organisation is to talk to other groups in your area who are already involving volunteers.

This page features organisations and projects in Wales who have had real experience of the benefits that volunteers can bring. You may be able to identify with some of the issues they have faced or learn from the ideas they have had.

Your local volunteer centre can help you with the practical aspects of setting up appropriate policies and procedures and are always available for advice and support.

We’ll be adding to these case studies over the next few months so if you have a good story to tell, please let us know.
