Finding volunteers and keeping them

The Volunteer Centre, Berkhamsted

The following is a shortened version of a talk given at the SWRAB Annual Meeting of Secretaries of Voluntary Associations, Arundel Castle, West Sussex, 2 November 1983.

The future role of voluntary organisations lies in a new kind of partnership with statutory services.
