About our Events

New elements will be released on a monthly basis via a dedicated online launch, featuring exclusive content and a range of well-informed and engaging guests.

As well as a first opportunity to download the new toolkit element, these sessions will be great CPD and peer networking for Volunteer Managers looking to up their digital game or develop their digital chops. The opportunity to join our digital ‘Community of Practice’ fits within and around these sessions.

Launches will require booking and will be paid for events – a modest charge of £10 is levied to help authors cover the costs of the launch itself, as well as the hosting and developing of the Toolkit and the accompanying Community of Practice.

CoP membership is and will remain free to all Volunteer Managers, giving them free access to all Toolkit products and a valuable peer network focusing on digital solutions.

In Person Events

We plan to host in person events across the UK to offer shared opportunity to explore themes around Digital in Volunteering.
