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.
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 the Forum 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. The person to email concerning these events is Tanya at Hastings Voluntary Action [email protected]
