Volunteering

Discussion topic 'Volunteers and the Equalities Act' led by Lindsay Watts, Volunteer Centre Manager, Oxfordshire. The new Equalities Act 2010 includes new protections of volunteers against discrimination and unfair dismissal, which haven’t previously been in place. Come along and find out more about this, the implications and how to create a fair and welcoming application process for volunteers. You’ll also have time to meet other people managing volunteers and share experiences.

Find out how you can create Games inspired volunteering opportunities and bring the 2012 games into your organisation.

Volunteering England, YouthNet and the Cabinet Office are hosting a workshop on Games inspired volunteering. You are invited to attend the workshop on 10 March 5.30 - 9.30pm (inc buffet) at the Welcombe Hills Golf Club, Warwick Road, Stratford upon Avon, CV37 0NR.

This workshop is being hosted by Voluntary Action Stratford-on-Abon District. For more information and to book your place please email respones to enquiries@vasa.org.uk.
