“Valuing volunteers and volunteering” is one of the areas the Board wants to focus on in 2013 and, in doing so, has set up the Volunteer Needs Work Group.

Volunteering in orienteering takes many forms, from access and car parking, to welfare and web development. The common feature is that people give up their time and put effort into making sure the sport happens.

We are interested in the attitude and motivations of volunteers in orienteering so that we can see how British Orienteering can best provide support.

The Volunteer Needs Work Group has put together the following questionnaire and we would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete it.

This information will enable us to provide the most appropriate and effective support to volunteers within orienteering. We would like the questionnaire completing by Wednesday 22nd May if possible please.

Many thanks for your assistance with this.
