About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Are you wanting a space to share a successful volunteering activity or do you have a situation with your volunteers with which you’d like some support?

Join members of the Volunteer Organisers Network at our regular open forum to hear from peers at heritage organisations across Scotland and seek advice from other attendees on the volunteering topics you’d like to raise.

This is a great opportunity to talk with people in similar roles, share your volunteer organiser insights, ask questions and pick up practical tips.

To start the session, we'll ask attendees to introduce themselves, and share something that's working well with their volunteer programme, and something that they may be struggling with or need a bit of help with.

After that we'll head into small group discussions about themes that have emerged from everyone's introductions.

And finally, we'll reflect on our conversations and wrap up.
