Volunteer Policy, Role Description and Volunteer Agreement
About this document
Volunteers are the heart of most clubs and community groups. A short policy and agreement set out what volunteers can expect and what is expected of them, which helps recruit and keep good people. Wording matters: careless drafting or payments beyond genuine expenses can make a volunteer an employee or worker in law, with rights to the minimum wage.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
