Shortage of volunteers
Activities, support, opportunities for young people in rural areas
Opportunities for young people
Barriers to good quality volunteering (DWP)
Ongoing ideas how to continue promoting our small independent charity.
Capacity - staff and volunteers shortage due to welfare reform (notably)!
Social isolation - generic issue, young, old, socio-economic status etc...
Resistance from elderly people who do not want help even if/when they need it.
1x DBS check to be used for vetting instead of each organisation
Difficulties getting good quality volunteers. Too many sent from work programmes who have no interest in our service but need to tick a government box!
