Volunteering round-up: April 2022

Welcome to the April volunteering round-up, with the latest sector updates and training opportunities.

Vision for Volunteering launch events

We’re thrilled the official launch for Vision for Volunteering will be at the Volunteer Expo Live, NEC Birmingham 6–7 May.

Tickets are free and the expo brings charities, community groups and campaigns together under one roof to celebrate the impact of volunteering. There’s a full programme of great speakers, alongside interactive learning workshops and an on-site activity where visitors can help pack food parcels to be distributed to Ukrainian refugees. If you’re working in the voluntary sector, this is an event not to be missed. We can’t wait to see you there.

We’re also hosting an online event on 10 May with Vision partners. Although its currently fully booked you can still email us to join the waiting list.

Read the key messages we made in our submission to the Vision team where we outline our aspirations for volunteering in England in 2032.
