Do you pay expenses? Do you have a web site? Are you a charity? So many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marx Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 So you want people to work for your 'for profit' company for free? This seems to be a growing trend as companies exploit people needing work 'experience' by getting them to work for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will you offer the volunteers? There are many sports clubs in Sheffield that ask for volunteers. Yes some people get paid, some don't. However with these clubs they will often pay for volunteers to go on courses, in return for volunteer hours. For example if I wanted to help out with athletics at Don Valley, it is quite possible a club there would send me on a coaching course (which cost a few hundred) in return for a set number of coaching hours once I got the course award. Offering someone the 'chance of work' is no-good unless you are offering them a valid qualification they can take elsewhere. As said before this is a worrying trend used by some groups.
