Testimonials

I found the event an informative, thought provoking day - it has helped for me to forward plan and think about visioning as i write the restructure of our volunteers programme.

Great opportunity to share strategic thinking on the current and future trends affecting volunteer management and to meet others who are developing and delivering good practice.
