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.
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.
Wednesday 5th August, 1pm-2pm. Online
The NHS Volunteering Service will speak to us about how it supports eligible charities and non-profits in the health and wellbeing sector, using their free, national platform. The session will share information on how this service can complement existing recruitment methods and work alongside any additional approaches your organisation already uses to attract those volunteers who want to work in the health and wellness sector.
Please email Maya to suggest agenda items, speakers, share information or ask for support needs in future meetings.
