OCVA organise a monthly Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum. If you have responsibility for managing or co-ordinating volunteers within Oxfordshire, then this forum is for you!
This informal group enables Volunteer Managers and Co-ordinators to come together to share experiences and skills, while offering some ongoing learning opportunities. It is open to any voluntary and community sector organisation in Oxfordshire.
Led by OxGrow, Hogacre Common Eco Park’s, community garden. We will learn about OxGrow’s community growing initiatives where they focus on education, demonstration, experimentation and community building within Hogacre Common’s fourteen acre site less than a mile from the centre of Oxford.
Wednesday 3rd June, 1–2pm. In-person at Bridge Street Community Garden, Banbury.
Join us for a relaxed networking session at Bridge Street Community Garden, a welcoming food forest in the heart of Banbury. Set in a green space with wooden gazebos and seating, this session offers a chance to connect with others, learn about community growing, and enjoy the calming atmosphere of nature.
Wednesday 8th July, 1pm-2pm. Online
Age UK Oxfordshire will provide a free benefits training and awareness session, particularly useful to organisations that help or support older people in Oxfordshire. During the session they will share information and resources to ensure that staff and volunteers feel confident having conversations about welfare benefits with the people in their service to ensure they are not missing out.
Please email Maya to suggest agenda items, speakers, share information or ask for support needs in future meetings.
