HVA have been working with the Institute for Volunteering Research on the largest ever survey about volunteering in Hastings and the team have now launched a report of the findings. Find out more here: http://www.hastingsvoluntaryaction.org.uk/news/major-study-shines-light-volunteering-hastings.
The results of the HVA/IVR study will now be used to create a volunteering strategy for Hastings and HVA want to involve as many local voices and ideas in the process as possible. We will be holding two focus groups in October:
Tuesday 11th October, 4pm-6.30pm & Friday 14th October 12pm-2.30pm.
To get involved in a focus group, help to develop the strategy or simply share your views and experiences, book here, or contact Jane Caley on: [email protected] or call 01424 444010.

Join us for our Summer Gathering, complete with a delicious free ploughmans lunch
Hastings Borough Council (HBC) is in the process of drafting a new Housing Strategy for the town. This will be a five-year strategy with the aim of adoption by the Autumn 2025. It will set out how HBC will meet their ambition for everyone in the town to have a decent place to live. HVA are working with HBC to facilitate a session for community organisations to comment on the draft strategy.
Book yourself a place to take part in this important conversation.
MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
