• Update from Louise Flagg, our Partnership's Officer, around themes and Volunteer Management Forum.
• Time to chat informally with the NDVS team and find out more about our roles
• An opportunity to help shape the services we offer to better meet your needs— such as specific training, support, or new opportunities
