Recruitment and retention
It's inevitable that some ringers won't return to ringing after the pandemic and if your band is a bit short you might want to consider attracting and training some new recruits.
Recruitment and retention resources
We've
pulled together a host of ideas, stories and tips into one set of
resources. Why not take a look and develop your own ten-point
recruitment and retention plan, based on your tower, your ringers and
your community that will meet your band's aspirations.

Recruitment and retention workshops
ART and the Central Council have developed a recruitment and retention workshop that introduces you to lots of ideas and guides you through building your personal recruitment and retention plan, whether for your band or your local branch or district. Find out what has worked for others and the pitfalls to avoid.
The workshop can be delivered
virtually or as a physical event.
Physical workshops
The location and dates of one-day physical workshops will obviously depend on how the pandemic unwinds across the country, but we will try our best to meet everyone's needs. If you're interested in attending or organising one in your local area, contact the Denise if you'd like to join one of these workshops.
Online workshop
We are starting to develop an online version of the workshop on the online learning portal. The workshop will be a mix of video presentations, slide shows and facilitated discussion groups. If you're interested in taking part in one of these online workshop please express your interest with Denise, ART Resources Administrator.
