DEPLOYING CLD VOLUNTEERS
This section is intended for organisations deploying CLD volunteers whether in the public or third sector. Helpful information about supporting volunteers generally is available from Volunteer Scotland and from your local Third Sector Interface Organisation(s). If you are not familiar with your local TSI and what they do, the leaflet below gives some information about what they do and how to get in touch. This section includes both general guidance on deploying volunteers contributed by these organisations and information and guidance specific to CLD volunteers contributed by colleagues across the sector. By sharing the practice and experience of organisations currently deploying volunteers, we can all develop and improve our support for CLD volunteers. Please contribute yours too!
If taking on CLD volunteers is new to your organisation, you can draw on that vast experience using the information contained below as a helpful guide to getting started.
