What is the RSCM doing and why?
“We are working to transform and re-imagine the experience of Volunteering with
the RSCM. In common with many other organisations, we find ourselves needing to respond to widespread changes in society which mean that the old, established ways of doing things are not sustainable into the future. It follows an extensive period of consultations, and represents a bold new step to ensure that RSCM activity remains relevant, widespread and available right across the country. It will enable us to welcome in a new body of volunteers to join in developing and delivering our work now and into the future.”
Hugh Morris, RSCM Director.
The plan is to re-focus volunteering back to being the enjoyable experience everyone would like it to be, away from burdensome administration; much of the paperwork will be handled by RSCM staff.
It means that we can be sure that we are working with complete compliance, safety and consistency across all areas of our work.
The wish is to make sure that regular events are planned with reasonable travelling distance for those we might encourage to attend. We will still rely on our local volunteers to help manage and deliver them, but better reflect their own time availability and talents.
