Engaging with our Volunteers
by USPG
A new Volunteer Manager was appointed and took up her position in August 2022. They will prioritise the recruitment, engagement, and management of USPG volunteers who are vital to help fundraise for and build awareness of the charity.
A volunteer survey was carried out towards the end of 2022, which has resulted in the launch of a bi-monthly newsletter to keep our volunteers more engaged and aware of what is happening within the organisation.
The Volunteer Manager has attended Diocesan Synods in Scotland, Ireland and England to re-establish and energise church connections as well as to build networks.
During Advent, USPG staff and volunteers gathered to celebrate the season with a carol-singing event at Kings Cross St. Pancras station while raising funds for the work of our global church partners.
In 2023 a volunteer development strategy will be prepared which will include mapping the USPG volunteer journey and the production of volunteer resources. We will also be looking to engage with younger volunteers, and have initiated conversations with Young Christian Climate Network and Anglican Communion Youth Network with the hope to create activist and advocacy roles.
