Museum Development East Midlands (MDEM) and Museum Development UK (MDUK) are thrilled to be working in collaboration with volunteer sector specialist 10GM<\/a> again to offer an intensive Volunteer Development Programme for up to 20 museums from across participating areas in the UK.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
This project has arisen due to the dual challenges of a longer-term shifting volunteering workforce in the heritage sector, and the particular strains of the last two months due to the pandemic. Through the Museum Development (MD) Annual Museums Survey<\/a> results, localised surveying through regional teams<\/a>, and the results of the Spotlight survey in Wales, a clear need has emerged to support organisations to review their operating models to ensure volunteering is sustainable and responsive to the museums needs and the communities they serve.<\/p>\n
Programme Outcomes:\u00a0<\/strong>Participating museums will:<\/p>\n
This intensive programme will allow 20 organisations from across the eight participating areas; East Midlands, East of England, North East, North West, South East, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>to benefit from hands-on support to develop their volunteering practices, through a combination of group sessions, coaching, network building and training.<\/p>\n
The programme will run from September 2022 to March 2023<\/strong>, with an expected time-commitment of 2-3 days per month. Additional work will be required to apply learning between sessions.<\/p>\n
Please read the programme information before completing the Expression of Interest form<\/a> and returning to by 5pm, Monday 11 July<\/strong><\/p>\n
