Guide Dogs: Volunteer Champion Packs for Libraries
Category: News
CILIPS members, do you want to have a pawsitive impact on your community in partnership with Guide Dogs? Then please sign up for a Volunteering Champion Pack and help grow their volunteer numbers to support more people with sight loss.
As all those who attended our CILIPS Sighted Guide Training for Library Professionals partnership event with Guide Dogs will remember, volunteers are essential to the services they provide and their recruitment means that Guide Dogs can help even more people with sight loss. Of course, there is no one better to help them with the challenge of finding more volunteers than our library professionals – local area experts with knowledge about their communities that could help Guide Dogs find volunteers in areas where people with sight loss need their services the most.
Request a Volunteering Champion pack to receive a bundle of promotional materials such as Guide Dogs posters, leaflets and business cards. You will also receive ‘A guide to attracting volunteers’ that will give you key information about each of their key roles, some top tips on how to use your promotional materials and how to help a library user apply for a volunteering role at Guide Dogs.
Your bespoke Volunteering Champion pack will be sent to you by your Local Volunteering Attraction Coordinator, who will also provide you with materials for roles that Guide Dogs are looking for in your area such as Fosterers, Puppy Raisers or Fundraising Group members. Feel free to let Guide Dogs know in the free text box on the form roughly how many leaflets and posters you would like for your library spaces.
Order a Volunteering Champion pack for your library now or please contact VolunteerAttraction@guidedogs.org.uk if you have any questions.
