FREE** Peer Learning session: The London Vision for Volunteering
Wednesday 11th June 2025, 10.30am - 12.30pm, on Zoom
.
Is recruiting and retaining volunteers an issue for your organisation?
National, regional and local research, as well as an abundance of anecdotal evidence, shows that rates of formal volunteering are on the decline across London and the UK, compared to before the pandemic.
,
The London Vision for Volunteering aims to provide a blueprint for developing volunteering in London, bringing together learning from individuals, organisations and businesses from every London borough. The report contains 36 practical recommendations, which aim to create meaningful change, while also understanding that more work and time will be needed in some areas.
.
In this practical Peer Learning session, we will hear from Dominic Pinkney, London Vision for Volunteering programme lead and CEO of Works4U. Dominic will highlight key recommendations from the Vision, relevant to Volunteer Managers.
.
We will then break out into small groups, where you will discuss the recommendations with other local Volunteer Managers, identifying practical actions that your organisation could take, what the challenges might be, and what support you might need.
.
This session is suitable for both experienced Volunteer Managers as well as those who are relatively new to managing volunteers.
.
Priority will be given to voluntary sector organisations with a base/office in Tower Hamlets, or that have services aimed at Tower Hamlets residents.
.
