This volunteer policy sets out the principles and practice by which we involve volunteers and is relevant to staff, volunteers and trustees within the organisation.

If your Voluntary Sector organisation employs staff, this information sheet will give you guidance on how to manage staff performance, using supervision and appraisal.

This guidance offers some practical advice and suggestions on keeping records to help ensure that projects funded by European Structural funds can comply with the requirements of their funding.

Unpaid voluntary activity can be used as a source of in-kind match funding for projects receiving funding from the European Structural Fund programmes in Wales.

In addition to the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIFs), Wales also has access to many other European funding programmes.

Delivery of an effective campaign to change policy in Wales requires thought before you get started.

It is essential that voluntary organisations carry out appropriate background checks on staff, volunteers and trustees.

Senedd Cymru, or the Welsh Parliament has a number of committees whose role involves conducting investigations into policy decisions made by Welsh Government or examining proposed new legislation.

Before involving volunteers, it is worth spending some time considering how they can be best included within your organisation.

In UK Law, volunteers do not have a legal status; unlike paid staff they do not have employment rights.

Town and community councils have powers over very local issues.

This information sheet will explain how legislation is made in Wales and how the sector can influence this.
