Come to our lunchtime volunteering fair at Working Men’s College for Men and Women on Tuesday 10th February.

And meet a number of non-profits looking for volunteers, just like you!

Find out what you can give and gain, and get the ‘ball rolling’ on the day.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Safeguarding procedures and DBS legislation will be covered in depth at this training workshop, as well as good practice around retaining and motivating volunteers. We will also be focusing on marketing your volunteering roles to help you attract the right volunteers with the right skills.

With a range of learning techniques including group discussions, and individual activities, we will focus on working with young people as volunteers, looking at all the benefits that young people can bring to your organisation, such as increased funding, but learning best practice and techniques that cover volunteers of all ages.

We will look at the barriers that prevent people from volunteering and how to overcome them, using the right words to attract energetic and engaged volunteers, how to keep good volunteers, and all the law and regulations around child protection and safeguarding.

People with responsibility for coordinating volunteers repeatedly tell us that they would like to have more influence within their organisation. This course will include hints and tips to do just that.

The session will include a panel discussion including three Chief Executives:

• Jan Tallis (School Home Support, brings the perspective of a national organisation CEO)
• Gary Jones (Age UK Camden, a successful and well regarded local organisation who involve many volunteers in a wide variety of roles )
• Alexis Keir (Elfrida Rathbone, a local organisation who have done a huge amount in recent years to support and develop volunteering)

All three CEOs will be talking about what influences them, and answering your questions. As part of the session you will prepare your next steps to promote your volunteer project, and develop a better understanding of what does and doesn’t get the attention of senior leaders. You can’t really afford to miss it.

Volunteer Centre Camden is subsidising places on this course for Camden organisations.
