Volunteer Managers Network
Bringing passionate volunteer managers together to support one another and shape volunteering in Leeds.
The Leeds Volunteer Managers Network meets quarterly to:
- share ideas and challenges
- strengthen good practice in volunteering
- build new connections
We lead on volunteering in Leeds. If you’re passionate about setting volunteers up for success, join us.
Join the Steering Group
Our steering group is the leadership group that shapes the network’s priorities and action plans.
We’re always looking for volunteer manager and those who support volunteers to join us. We think its important that the steering group is representative of the diverse communities of Leeds and would be particularly keen to hear from people of global majority backgrounds.
Interested in being part of the steering group? Email Andrina Dawson for an introductory chat.

Resources for Volunteer Managers: Toolkits, Guides and Top Tips
The network and the Volunteer Centre Leeds team create and share resources to help you and shape good practice across the city.
Many organisations use our Volunteer Handbook to induct their volunteers. You can download it for free, along with more toolkits and resources.

The Leeds Volunteering Quality Marks
The Leeds Volunteering Quality Mark is an accreditation for organisations who manage volunteers to show that they are outstanding in their field. This was developed by our network members and the Volunteer Centre team. It gives credit to organisations that run high quality volunteer programmes and give their volunteers a great experience.
Volunteer Induction Videos
This set of videos can be used during the induction process for your volunteers. There are four induction videos which cover:
- Safeguarding
- Equality and Diversity
- Confidentiality and Data Protection
- Staying Safe
