In this feature we focus on ways of broadening the diversity of your volunteer team. We look at how different heritage projects have successfully involved a wider range of people as volunteers. And we hear from volunteers about what the experience has meant for them.
Volunteering brings many benefits. As well as contributing skills and enthusiasm, volunteers can help projects to better reflect the local community and reach wider audienced. People often tell us that volunteering has changed their lives, bringing a sense of fulfilment and new opportunities. That's why we want to ensure that everybody has the chance to get involved.
