EVENTS
Come to our Volunteer Managers’ Cafe this April to get free, tailored support with managing local volunteers.

For this forum, we will:
- Ask you to think about some real life examples in your organisation and bring them with you so we can help you identify what to do next
- Look at some of the underlying causes of difficulties, and consider strategies to prevent them
You will also meet (and network with) other volunteer managers in Camden and beyond – and refreshments are included. Fantastic!
Timetable:
10am Arrivals, refreshments
10.15 Post-its
10.30-10.40am Networking Bingo
10.40-10.55am Intros / Housekeeping
10.55-11.25am Session 1
11.25-11.35am Break
11.35-11.50am Networking
11.50am-12.20pm Session 2
12.20-12.35pm Networking

>>> Please bring your business cards if you have them, for the networking sessions
>> We have a few free places available for Camden non-profits which have no paid staff and are unfunded. Get in touch with Shafia by email if this applies to your organisation.
> We will provide light refreshments. However, if you have any special dietary requirements please come prepared personally.
We look forward to seeing you on the day! 🙂
COVID-19 Update (19.3.20): We have received requests from organisations wanting to book a place at this fair. Due to the government advice to practice social distancing and social isolation we are waiting to release tickets until closer to the time and we are also looking at alternate dates in the Autumn. Keep watching this space and your inbox (if you are signed up for our Mailing Lists) for updates when we have them.
Further to that, have a look at how you can help with the Covid-19 response locally. There’s info there for organisations and volunteers, and it’s updated regularly.
Stay healthy!
Come to our June 2020 Volunteering Fair, meet local organisations recruiting volunteers … and find your perfect volunteering role.
Did you know that volunteering is good for you? Studies show that volunteering can improve and maintain your mental and physical health, and well as helping with the effects of stress, anxiety and low self esteem. And the social contact of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological wellbeing. Good times!
So drop by, and say hello on Tuesday 23rd June, 12-2pm in the heart of Camden at Working Men’s College, 44 Crowndale Road, NW1 1TR.
We are once again joining forces with our good friends @ Volunteer Centre Islington to bring you this fair. Nice one!
As always, there’s no need to book. Just pop in.
*** However, if you are a non-profit that wants to recruit volunteers in Camden or Islington at the fair, then book your free place via Eventbrite (FYI: tickets have not yet been released, but keep checking back for updates).
>> We are particularly looking to offer micro-volunteering opportunities at this fair.Do you have anything that attendees could drop in and do in less than two hours? If so email us to let us know.
We look forward to seeing you there. 🙂
