Episode 14 - parkrun - Carol Cunningham, Global Head of Volunteering

Both Matt and I are big fans of Parkrun; not just the running but the volunteering too. We've long been impressed at their simple yet efficient, well organised and inclusive volunteering happens with a relatively small staffing body.To get the inside track on how Parkrun grew from a small local running event to a global phenomena this is essential listening. You will learn about how volunteering grew as an integral part of Parkrun, and about the culture and values that drive this amazing organisation.The aim of this podcast series is to capture and share interesting activity across volunteering; so that we can all learn and constantly improve our practice. This episode is a great example of that.If you'd like Time for Impact to help you review, develop or improve your volunteering practice and strategy, or help you demonstrate the value and impact your volunteers deliver please do reach out to us via our www.TimeForImpact.co.uk and we can offer a range of consulting, mentoring and learning solutions.Like any creative endeavour, bringing the podcast to life involves real costs in production, editing, planning, and execution.
