Volunteer Co-ordinators' Networking Forum - 8th February 2019

 Registration is closed for this event
The next meeting of our popular Forum is soon approaching. This is a great opportunity for Volunteer Managers, Leaders and Co-ordinators to support each other, discuss volunteering issues and ideas, and network. The format includes workshops and discussion topics on volunteering and good practice - members determine their content and structure.

A reminder that the East Sussex Volunteer Coordinator Networking Forums run locally and are open to anyone who has responsibility for involving and engaging volunteers anywhere in East Sussex.

 

We are always looking for guest speakers at future Forum sessions.  If you would like the opportunity to get up and share with us a bit more about what you do and how your service involves volunteers, then please contact Tanya.

 

Attendance at all the Forums is currently free but there are limited places and demand for places is usually high, so to be sure of your place, please book early.
