Welcome to First Days

First days helps you to engage with volunteers from the beginning of the recruitment process right through to getting feedback on the volunteer's first day. It will help you to assess the specific volunteer needs that your organisation has and will enable you to create really focused volunteer role descriptions that will attract the necessary skills and experience to support and develop your organisation. First Days also provides you with the necessary information to keep in touch with your potential volunteers, and gives you access to a wealth of tips, resources and support.


We hope that you find using First Days a simple and helpful experience and that you recommend it to your colleagues and networks in the third sector. If you have any queries please contact Geoff.jones@wales.coop. We would love to hear your feedback.


First Days has been made possible with funding from The Big Lottery Fund, and is a partnership between the Wales Co-operative Centre, Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA), Business in The Community (BITC) Cymru and CAST.
