Read NCVO\u2019s blog post about their report <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncvo.org.uk\/2022\/07\/22\/volunteering-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/\">here<\/a>. The report\u2019s insights are not museum sector specific, but nonetheless chime with the realities of volunteer involvement in many of the South West\u2019s museums:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New online methods of volunteer communication adopted during COVID-19 were incredibly useful &#8211; but in person connections remain an important part of the volunteer experience. Taking all volunteer communication online, in a one size fits all approach, would bypass the enriching experience of face-to-face contact that is so important to many volunteers.<\/li>\n<li>What are the implications for online recruitment in museums? It\u2019s worth noting that the path from seeing an opportunity advertised online, to becoming a signed up, in person volunteer, is unlikely to be linear.\u00a0Having opportunities for a \u2018real life\u2019 welcome \u2013 via open days and 1-1 welcomes \u2013 is still a vital part of the process.<\/li>\n<li>Volunteers\u2019 health worries around COVID-19 haven\u2019t entirely gone away and are likely to be the reason why some museum volunteers have not returned.\u00a0Museums need to continue to provide reassurance and ways for people to re-engage safely.<\/li>\n<li>Coronavirus was a stressful time and people still feel \u2018burn out\u2019 \u2013 being sensitive to this is a priority, especially as we move into a cost-of-living crisis. Offer flexible shift options and shorter shifts so that people can still volunteer, but in less demanding ways (many museums are already adapting their opportunities in this way.)<\/li>\n<li>We also need to recognize that volunteer co-ordination in these circumstances\u00a0is emotionally demanding work and explore ways to ease the load and support colleagues in this vital role.<\/li>\n<li>We know that Coronavirus led to many of us re-evaluating how we use our time, leading to a flow into museum volunteering as well as a flow out of it. How can you get ready to attract those people who are looking for a new volunteering experience, by providing clear and enticing ways to get involved? Volunteering in heritage has positive effects on individual wellbeing, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagefund.org.uk\/blogs\/heritage-and-positive-mental-health\">these<\/a> projects have shown.<\/li>\n<li>Some of those considering museum volunteering for the first time will be younger. Don\u2019t assume what their motivation to volunteer is \u2013 take time to find out through introductory chats and regular catch ups. Ask them how it went when they move on \u2013 all useful information for future planning.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, when you adapt the range of volunteering opportunities on offer, it\u2019s important to plan how you will update and consult your more longstanding volunteers \u2013 they will feel more involved and support you in welcoming new volunteers better as a result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to fellow Thematic Officers Helena Jaeschke, Polly Allen and Marina Moore for their insights for this piece.
