What is LAA volunteering project and why is it important to Ealing Signed agreement between Ealing Council, the Local Strategic Partnership (ECVS a member) & central government.

Identify priorities for improving services and quality of life in Ealing from 2007 to 2010.

110 targets have been identified in Ealing, with 14 key targets which have been chosen by the LSP for Performance Reward Grants of 740,000 for achieving increased stretch targets volunteering is one of these. If the volunteering target is achieved, this considerable sum will be ploughed back into Ealings voluntary sector.

Ealing Volunteer Centre (part of ECVS) is leading on achieving the volunteering target, which aims is to increase the number of volunteers in the borough of Ealing between 2007 and 2010 by 1085:

490 socially excluded from target groups ( BMER and Eastern European communities, volunteers with disabilities, volunteers without formal qualifications) , 460 general volunteers 460 and 135 specific areas (Hosp, police, Steetwatchers)

Working in partnership with 2 large vol orgs (PLA & GMSW), 10 smaller vol orgs & 3 stat partners (police, hospital, Streetwatchers) to achieve the stretch targets

Very significant benefits to Ealings voluntary sector improved good practice, more volunteers to support VCS groups, VCS groups enabled to carry out more, benefits to individual volunteers, improved partnership working, PRG ploughed back into Ealings VCS

Ealing volunteer
must volunteer, live, study or work in Ealing

New to your organisation

started volunteering after April 2007100 hours

within any 12-month period - include travel, training, etc

Nominate for award OR provide information to be kept confidentially

EVC logo100 hours100 hours100 hours

100 HOUR VOLUNTEERSTo be eligible for an award, volunteers must meet 3 criteriaThe first criterion is simply that they should live, study, work or volunteer in the borough of Ealing. It doesnt matter how the volunteers are recruited they dont need to have come via Ealing Volunteer Centre. As long as they live, study, work or volunteer in the borough of Ealing, they count towards the targets.

Secondly, they must be new to your organisation ie joined your organisation some time in the previous 12 months

Thirdly, they must complete 100 hours of volunteering a 12-month period. Thats an (average of 2 hours a week. The hours can be accumulated in a short chunk or spread across the year as long as the total is reached within a 12-month period). The 100 hours is an approximate figure, and can include travel time to and from the volunteering, training, research, meetings anything associated with the volunteering. If someone volunteers at more than one organisation (e.g. helping at school events or at the local church or faith group), the hours can be added together

How you can help

There are 3 things you can do to help, and Well do all we can to make it as painless a process as possible1. The first is to nominate volunteers who complete 100 hours of voluntary service for an award. We will invite nominated volunteers to the next awards ceremony , where the Mayor of Ealing will present a Certificate of Volunteering Achievement to everyone who has been nominated. Each volunteer will have their photo taken receiving their award, and they will be able to record the award on their cv. Ill explain who is eligible for a 100 hour award, and youll find this information on our website too. (wwwEaling CVS Volunteering Section Awards page]

2. the second way in which you can help is to provide confidential monitoring information. We are aware that some volunteers may not wish to receive recognition for their volunteering they may not like the limelight, or perhaps they have moved on from your organisation, or there may be other reasons for not nominating individual volunteers. However, we want to be sure that we capture and record data for all volunteers who meet the 100 hour criteria.. I want to emphasize that we will do everything we can to ensure that this process does not become an administrative burden for you . We have several creative solutions up our sleeves e.g. recruiting admin volunteers for your project or organisation, to help you with the process of providing the monitoring data (Lesley can vouch for this technique. We recruited Eileen to help Lesley she now has a paid role at PLA and we have now recruited Anne to take over where Eileen left off, or visit to Groundwork. Please get in touch with me so we can find a solution that will work well for you..
The 3rd way in which you can help is to register new volunteering opps with the Volunteer Centre. Lizzie mentioned earlier that there are currently 5551 volunteers registered with the VC talented people keen to give their time freely to help others. If you are able to provide more openings for them, well find volunteers to fill the roles

be a stepping stone to Investing in Volunteers (IIV).

What the GLV network told us:

pinkglv_logoThey liked the Charter

They thought that the Health Check was comprehensive

They wanted a short version of the Health Check for initial contact with organisations, defining the essentials of good practice in volunteer management.

How it could work for HNCAG
(Happy Neighbours Community Action Group)

pinkglv_logoHNCAG: will endorse the Charter by signing it

complete the Volunteer Management Health Check

pinkglv_logoThe Association of Volunteer Managers works to support people who manage volunteers; and as such we really welcome initiatives such as GLV's Charter of Good Practice which promote good volunteer management, and help to highlight that volunteer involvement needs to be planned and resourced properly. We hope that it will be a positive step forward for volunteer managers, and volunteer management, across London. Sean Cobley, Chair, AVM
