Volunteers: Making The Most Of The Support Available And How To Access It

We're excited to welcome Pippa Reeve and Karen Thomson, Warwickshire Community and Voluntary Action (WCAVA) as our guest speakers at the next Get Social Networking event.

As an infrastructure organisation, one of WCAVA's main roles is to support volunteering, both in terms of people seeking volunteering opportunities and organisations needing help to recruit volunteers. They also support planning for volunteer involvement and helping with best practice. They achieve this in a variety of ways, including via online volunteer portal, attending numerous events, working with referral partners and providing opportunities for one-to-one support. They also work with businesses to find suitable volunteering opportunities for their staff.

In this talk, Pippa and Karen will provide more detail about some of these areas and how your organisations can get involved.

Alongside the learning opportunity, you'll have plenty of time to connect with fellow social entrepreneurs, community leaders and organisations from across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.

Wednesday 5th August. 10 am until 12 pm.

We had a fantastic webinar from Tom Bostock from Big Issue Invest yesterday all about Social Investment, grant and loan funding. It was certainly an eye opener and I think the attendees found it useful. If you're in Warwickshire and want to know more, contact us via the CDA website, we can help you to get started with Social Investment.

Social investment is becoming an increasingly important tool for charities and social enterprises.
