First impressions are very important and we want to ensure that all our new volunteers get the best introduction to Girlguiding as possible, regardless of the area they are from or the role they are volunteering for.
The following is designed to give a consistent and positive message. Please feel free to adapt the documents to your own needs.
The Warm Welcome has 3 stages:
Stage 1 - Welcoming for all new Volunteers
This can done via a welcoming email and this can consists of the following:
Dear
Thank you for your enquiry to volunteer with Girlguiding.
We are the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK and I attach a leaflet produced by Girlguiding which gives an outline of what we do.
Before you commit to a volunteer role within Girlguiding, I would like to meet with you in order to tell you more about our organisation and the opportunities available for adult volunteers.
Please let me know a day and time that suits you best.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Kind regards
Jane Brown
Role
Maybe include the Girlguiding UK Corporate A5 Leaflet as an attachment.
(Please see below)

An induction will give new volunteers a better understanding of the aims of Girlguiding, the role of volunteers and the journey younger members make through the sections. Taking part is a great opportunity for new volunteers to meet each other and create a support network.
