Do you have volunteers within your group or organisation?
Do you know anybody who volunteers?
If so could you please let Wyre Together know as we are running an exercise called a Volunteering Snapshot of Wyre between the dates March 21st - 27th 2011. We aim to collate as much information as possible about the number of volunteers and the number of hours they contribute in a one week period and we are then going to convert this into a monetary value and also analyse the information to identify any gaps etc. The findings from the exercise will be widely publicised and the information can hopefully be used as future evidence of the true value of volunteering in Wyre.
We are currently in the process of collating a list of all the volunteering areas/organisations to ensure they are included so if you could let us know we will include your information on the list and contact you again nearer the time. I have attached a flyer providing more information about the exercise and how the information is going to be captured during the exercise dates (the reverse of the document confirms the information we require)
PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE THE RETURNS YET AS WE NEED THE INFORMATION FOR THE SPECIFIC PERIOD IN MARCH ONLY!.
Please could you let Anne Colquhoun know if you have any volunteers or know of any other community groups who have volunteers by:-
telephone 01253 887437
fax 01253 887553
We are also looking for anybody who may be willing to help with the exercise, either by distributing some leaflets, contacting groups or working with Anne to make sure we get as much information as possible. If you (or anybody you know) would be willing to help for a short period your help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
