Here’s a basic recruitment toolkit to help you get new volunteers. These are editable by you to personalise with your school’s name and your own contact details.
You can now edit a range of promotional squares in Canva, filling them with your school’s details.
What to do:
- Click here and scroll to the bottom to choose ‘use template for new design’ – it will create an account for you based on your email (choose ‘use email’ from the options, it will then send a verification code to your email address)
- Once you are into the design page on Canva, look down the list of images and choose which you want to use
- Click the + sign sitting on top of the image, it will duplicate one for you to use
- Edit in your school name, day and time of lessons and contact details
- Go to Share, top right, and then choose Download as a png or jpg, select the page number of your design and download
- If you accidentally delete something, there’s an undo icon in the blue menu bar at top left.
