organisations, inspiring you to think about how volunteering works in your
organisation
A is for Activity . We will have a choice
of workshops: one on
partnerships and collaboration and how we can work with health and social care
sector and a second to challenge your thinking of how volunteering works, does it have to be a set
time each week and within a specific place?

badges and certificates that you can give out to your volunteers. There will be information stands with all important FREEBIES

within your organisation that stop people from becoming volunteers?
