Volunteer Coordinators' Forum
Next date - last this year! Wednesday 29th November morning at Wallington Library, Mallinson Room
To help organisations, we have monthly Volunteer Coordinators' Forums where ANYONE who works with volunteers (including volunteers themselves) is welcome to join.
We're a friendly group from a range of organisations who come together to share best practice and ideas, support one another, learn new tips and tricks and get out of the office visiting organisations across the borough for a fun morning out.
Previous session key topics have included:
- Volunteer Recruitment and Retention
- DBS and Vetting
- Crowdfunding at Sutton Community Farm
- Volunteer Conflict at Downlands Partnership, Old Lodge Farm
- ...many with tours of exciting organisation sites including patting lambs and tasting local produce!
Here are the dates for 2023 to put them in your diaries. Most sessions are in person where will get the most out of it. Occasionally such as if they are held at Volunteer Centre Sutton we are trialling a hybrid version.
Timings are generally:
