The move towards digital has opened up many great opportunities for small to medium-sized heritage organisations to make a big impact, but also presents some challenges. Many heritage organisations rely on volunteers to operate and the digital skills of a volunteer team may be limited. This resource by Dig Yourself provides guidance on how to identify the digital training needs of your volunteers and how get started with digital upskilling with limited resources.
Stephan Stockton MBE looks at how digital tools can help small to medium-sized heritage organisations support the volunteering journey from recruitment and training through to ongoing management of volunteers.
