We believe regional networks are vital to supporting volunteer managers within our sector. Our networking forum provides an opportunity for groups to share ideas and inform the work we do, ensuring we’re responding to your needs.
If you’re looking for peer support we would encourage you to get in touch with your local network. If there isn’t one in your area have a look at our guide to Building a Sustainable Volunteer Management Network then get in touch.
