We will build up a vibrant bank of volunteers across the Black Country concentrating on the metropolitan areas of Dudley and Sandwell. We will work with schools, colleges, voluntary and community groups, statutory agencies and other partners to enable them to host trained volunteers in order to build progression and sustainability for the volunteers. We will also develop a ‘Train the Trainer’ programme with all partner agencies who decide to take on a trained volunteer. This programme, alongside a steering group, will be the basis of sustainability after the project life as partner agencies will be able continue to recruit and train their own bank of volunteers.
