Looking to recruit more volunteers in their 50s & beyond?

Want some hints and tips to help you to engage and support them better?

This event will give you the confidence to know that your volunteer opportunities are Age-Friendly, and will help you to tap into this pool of potential volunteers.

We will explore the many ways that you can get involved. You could be a telephone befriender, based in your own home. You could be a driver helping people around the area access services. You could plant trees, run art sessions, read with children in schools… there are so many opportunities!

Our Best practice in #Governance sessions are designed for charity #trustees who wish to develop their knowledge, assess their efficacy and strengthen their processes, with the aim to build resilience in their organisation.

Whether you are new to computers or looking to refresh your knowledge, this session will guide you through the basics – from using a keyboard and mouse to creating documents and managing your money with Excel.

This workshop will support you in shaping & clarifying your idea, exploring it with others, & gaining confidence in presenting it to funders. You'll work through a simple, structured template in a supportive & interactive environment that helps you organise your thinking & refine your approach.

In this session you will learn: why a business plan is important; what the key components of a business plan are and key steps to write a business plan.

Meet in person with local and national funders and support groups regarding projects/funding requirements as well as networking with other organisations.

Tickets are free, and attendees can choose to book a morning or afternoon slot.
