NCVO’s new volunteering consultant Helen Tourle shares volunteering news and dates for your diary.
I’d like to say hello and introduce my first volunteering round-up!
I joined NCVO in January as volunteering consultant. I’ve worked in charity volunteering teams and programmes for nearly 10 years. I’m really looking forward to working with the huge diversity of organisations across the sector.
I’m working to deliver a range of consultancy and training services designed to support volunteering programmes.
You can follow me on Twitter and LinkedIn, or contact me at helen.tourle@ncvo.org.uk.
