Testimonials

The conference was a great opportunity to hear from and speak with experts across the sector, as a sport and physical activity charity it was an excellent event for speaking to organisations we wouldn't normally engage with.

Birmingham Sport and Physical Activity Trust - Workforce Manager

I found the event very helpful in networking with other charity representatives associated with volunteers and volunteer management. I made some key contacts to progress the Volunteer Strategy Project I am leading for The Eikon Charity.
