Volunteer Co-ordinators Networking Event

We are pleased to announce this further opportunity for volunteer managers and co-ordinators to share ideas and good practice. You will have the opportunity to meet others and informally discuss issues around volunteering.

These regular networking events are for volunteer co-ordinators/managers or anyone involved in the recruitment, selection and management of volunteers as part of your role (in paid or voluntary capacity, or as a trustee). 

As volunteer managers/co-coordinators we know that having a well thought out induction for new volunteers is extremely important. All too often inductions consist of just reading policies and being introduced to staff and then that's it. If properly planned, the induction can be used for both the volunteer and the volunteer co-ordinator to develop the best ways of working together. This event will give you and other local volunteer managers/co-coordinators a chance to hear from our guest speaker Wendy McGauley, Volunteering Coordinator, Leonard Cheshire Disability who is an experienced Volunteer Manager and currently manages over 100 volunteers and who also previously managed volunteers for British Heart Foundation on a regional basis. It will also give you a chance to meet and informally discuss with each other your own organisation’s induction procedures and share good practice.

Facilitator

The workshop will be facilitated by Lucy Crayk, Volunteer Centre Manager at Voluntary and Community Action.

Venue

The workshop will be held at Delta House, Hockliffe Street, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 1EZ. This venue is fully accessible. Parking is available in a pay and display car park nearby.
