Volunteer Health Check

The Volunteer Health Check gives your club a practical review of how you currently recruit, organise, support and retain volunteers, identifying the biggest opportunities for improvement.

Build Your Squad

Understand where your club is today — and what needs to improve.

Every grassroots football club depends on volunteers, but it can be difficult to step back and assess whether your current volunteer structure is actually working.

Are you relying on the same people to do everything? Are important roles difficult to fill? Do new volunteers know what is expected of them? Are you struggling to attract people outside your existing network?

The VolunteerForge Health Check provides an independent look at your club's current volunteer operation and identifies practical opportunities to strengthen it.

What's included?

Current Volunteer Structure Review

We'll look at how your club currently organises its volunteers, including the roles people perform and how responsibilities are divided.

Volunteer Gap Analysis

We'll identify areas where your club needs additional volunteers and highlight roles that may currently be putting pressure on existing committee members or volunteers.

Role & Responsibility Review

We'll assess whether your volunteer roles are clearly defined and whether people understand what is expected of them.

Recruitment Review

We'll look at how your club currently attracts volunteers and identify opportunities to improve the way volunteer roles are advertised and promoted.

Volunteer Support & Retention Review

We'll consider how your club currently welcomes, communicates with, supports and recognises volunteers.

Practical Recommendations

You'll receive clear recommendations focused on the areas that could make the biggest difference to your club.

Your Volunteer Action Plan

At the end of the Health Check, you'll receive a practical action plan setting out:

  • What is currently working well

  • Where your biggest volunteer gaps are

  • What needs attention first

  • Recommended improvements

  • Potential recruitment opportunities

  • Suggested next steps

The aim isn't to give you a long report that sits in a folder.

The aim is to give your club a clear starting point and practical actions you can actually implement.
