Making volunteering work: four bite-size sessions for small community groups

  • 9 March - What makes volunteers tick and clear roles without bureaucracy. 
  • 16 March - Recruiting locally, welcoming well, and everyday support and supervision. 
  • 23 March - Handling difficult moments with care and recognition that feels genuine. 
  • 30 March - Boundaries, safety and leading volunteers through change. 

Mondays, 6pm-7pm. Register here
