Over the past year, we’ve spoken to volunteer car scheme operators, volunteers, local infrastructure organisations and local authorities across England to better understand the challenges, opportunities and future of the sector.
In this interactive session, we’ll share the key findings from our research and, more importantly, explore what they mean in practice. We’ll look at volunteer recruitment, the support structures that help schemes thrive, innovative approaches being used across England and succession planning for the future.
By the end of the session, you will:
- Hear the latest findings from our research with volunteer car scheme operators, volunteers and local authorities
- Explore what supports strong volunteer recruitment, retention and succession planning
- See innovative approaches being used by schemes across England
- Share your own experience and hear what’s working well in other areas
Who is this session for?
Volunteer car scheme coordinators, drivers, trustees and local infrastructure organisations looking for new ideas, inspiration from other schemes or an opportunity to help shape what comes next for the sector.
Join us for a practical, forward-looking discussion about the future of volunteer car schemes.
