As part of the partnership’s commitment to closer and healthier communities we have developed a volunteering scheme that enables the local communities of Hertfordshire to embrace the magic of London 2012 and organise events and activities that will involve volunteers.
The scheme that is being rolled out through the Hertfordshire Volunteer Centres will also develop a bank of 2012 inspired volunteers who can be deployed across the county during Games-time and in activities and events inspired by London 2012.
One such example is the Olympic Torch Relay next year; hopefully the torch will be visiting the county and therefore we hope to encourage local celebrations around the torch relay with a ready made 2012 inspired volunteer workforce in order to make events as easy to put on as possible.
The HRFW Volunteer Scheme offers a toolkit which projects can use to market their volunteering activities and events. Accompanying the branding are guidelines for projects wishing to organise 2012-inspired activities and events which will support projects to gain maximum impact, including guidance on volunteer management and support in promoting projects. Projects applying for volunteers will also be encouraged to apply for their own ‘Inspire Mark’ recognition themselves to help with the branding of their activities or events.
Currently the Volunteer Centres across Hertfordshire are recruiting HRFW Volunteer Scheme Coordinators.
The coordinator’s role is voluntary and part-time and one will be recruited from each Volunteer Centre. The coordinators will be responsible for promoting and helping to deliver the scheme as well as recruiting and managing the volunteers. The aim is to support local volunteer involving projects which are Olympic inspired and enable them to be registered on the Herts is Ready for Winners Volunteering Scheme.
If you are interested in the Herts is Ready for Winners Volunteer Scheme contact your local Volunteer Centre or click here, the coordinators role description is also available for download here.
We hope the scheme will help to create a lasting volunteering legacy from 2012 in Hertfordshire.
