Volunteers are remarkable.
But remarkable needs support.

Over five million people volunteer formally in the UK every month. They run food banks, support patients, mentor young people, staff charity shops, and hold communities together. They do it for nothing, often with little training and less support.

The organisations they give their time to — charities, NHS trusts, housing associations, CVS bodies — are asked to deliver increasingly complex services with the same or smaller budgets. And volunteer management sits at the heart of it all: recruitment, induction, training, supervision, retention, and endings.

Done well, volunteer training transforms retention, confidence, and impact. Done poorly — or not at all — it costs organisations far more than the training ever would.

“The cost of replacing one volunteer is estimated at 3× the annual training investment. Keeping the volunteers you have is always cheaper than recruiting new ones.”

If you manage volunteers, you’ll recognise these challenges.

Every volunteer coordinator faces the same pressures. Volunteer Solutions was built to solve all of them — in one licence, at one price.

💰

No budget for external training

“We can’t keep paying for external trainers — the budget just isn’t there.”

⏱️

No time to build sessions from scratch

“I spend hours preparing each training session — time I simply don’t have.”

⚖️

Are we keeping up with UK law?

“I’m not sure our training reflects current UK law and safeguarding guidance.”

🔁

High volunteer turnover

“We keep losing volunteers — we need better induction and development tools.”

🌈

Diverse and complex needs

“Our volunteers have very different needs — I want training that’s genuinely inclusive.”

💻

Remote and hybrid delivery

“Some volunteers are remote or hybrid — group sessions don’t always work.”

💡

Volunteer Solutions was built for exactly this.

Our library of 54+ resources — including 33 training packs, 7 coordinator toolkits, 10 self-study workbooks, and 4 workshops — gives you everything you need to run professional, well-informed, inclusive training — without hiring external consultants or spending hours preparing from scratch. One licence. Your whole organisation. Delivered your way.

We moved to licensing so you get more — at a price that works for the sector.

The original model sold individual packs. That worked — but it meant organisations bought reactively, only when a specific problem arose. They ended up with gaps, and missed the value of a coherent, joined-up training programme.

The library licence changes that entirely. For one annual fee, you access everything — so you can plan a proper training programme from day one, pick the right resource for every situation, and never have to wait for budget approval to address an urgent training need.

It also means we can keep every pack updated throughout the year. When legislation changes, when sector guidance is updated, when new best practice emerges — you get that update automatically, at no extra cost. Individual pack sales could never sustain that.

The mission has not changed: professional volunteer training, done for you, at a price that respects the reality of voluntary sector budgets.

📋

Access everything, plan properly

Instead of buying individual packs reactively, you can build a real training programme around your volunteers’ actual journey — from induction through to development.

🔁

Updates included, always

UK law changes. Sector guidance evolves. Your licence means every update reaches you automatically — no extra cost, no separate purchase, no chasing.

🏠

Your whole organisation, one price

No per-volunteer fees. No per-seat charges. No restrictions on how many times you use a pack. One licence, unlimited use, across your entire volunteer programme.
