If you are thinking of engaging with ESV here is what a local business told us their employees are interested in: "Our staff are keen to make a difference in the local community by helping a wide range of charities. They are particularly keen to support organisations who help disadvantaged children and their families. They also support projects which protect the environment.”
Volunteering Forum attendees identified the following main benefits and challenges of ESV:
What attendees said about the forum
“The RBI presentation was really interesting and actually changed the way that I look at ESV.”
“Hearing from Gilly and her great success utilising ESV was excellent – great idea to continue sharing best practice at future training events.”
