Working in hybrid spaces: voluntary sector leadership and learning

After a challenging two years, has the work of voluntary sector organisations changed forever, or is it back to business as usual? This year’s CVSL conference will explore the (old and new) spaces in which the sector’s work takes place. We will share research and speak with partners about learning and leading through digital technologies; the continuing importance of ‘local’; changing parameters of collaboration; and the impact of work to make the spaces of voluntary action ever more inclusive.

Dame Sara Llewellin, Chief Executive of the Barrow Cadbury Trust
