Membership, Growth and Retention (MGR)

My name is Gemma and I am excited to be the Devon MGR Lead. This is a role I am passionate about and I am keen to help as many of you out as possible!

As Membership, Growth and Retention lead for Devon, I am available to support you in your recruitment needs. Be that more girls or amazing volunteers to support our units, we want to continue to grow Girlguiding across our county and let everyone know about the incredible things we already get up to!

Working with our county communications and PR adviser I can help with advice on:

· Social media recruitment & support

· Keeping Young Leaders motivated

· Being seen in our community

· Encouraging more girls to join

· Commissioner support to retain leaders

· Attending events

· New volunteer welcome and onboarding

  And lots more.

The Girlguiding website has lots of great support too, check out the toolkit here(link is external), information on inducting new volunteers, help getting parents involved, recruitment planning and more. Also be sure to follow Girlguiding Devon on facebook http://www.facebook.com/GirlguidingDevon(link is external) to stay up to date on exciting updates across the county. Feel free to join the facebook group ‘Girlguiding Devon Members’ to network with other leaders around the county and share ideas and advice.

For new volunteers please see the welcome data sheets below as it contains key information to help explain the wider world of guiding and where best to find information and contact information.

Recruitment and branding resources are available through national trading but Devon County have some resources available for use please email me and we can arrange for access to these resources.

Please feel free to get in touch if you need ideas and support, I would love to hear from you,
