Employer Supported Volunteer Showcase

Does your organisation have a staff volunteer programme, and would you like to make a positive impact on communities in County Durham? 

We would like to invite you to our Employer Supported Volunteer Showcase to promote your offer to voluntary and community sector organisations. 

The aim of the event is to highlight the offers available and how to access and utilise the skills and time of staff through the Employer Supported Volunteer schemes to make a meaningful impact for the communities of County Durham. 

The event will have presentations highlighting positive ways to achieve a wider impact from linking into staff volunteer programmes including examples of current offers. There will also be an opportunity for discussions around potential support through different organisations with staff volunteer programmes to meet needs of individual voluntary and community sector organisations. If your organisation would like a stall at the event to promote your volunteer offer and an opportunity to network with voluntary and community organisations, please get in touch with Charlotte Linton as soon as possible. charlotte.linton@durhamcommunityaction.org.uk

There is also a limited number of slots for presentations remaining which will give organisations an extra opportunity to showcase their positive impact they have on local communities. Venue and refreshments are kindly being provided by Durham University. 

We have also developed a network for organisations with a staff volunteer offer. The aim of the network is for organisations to share successes and challenges they are facing with their staff volunteer programmes and work in partnership to best support the communities of County Durham. If you would like to become a member of this network, please contact Charlotte Linton, charlotte.linton@durhamcommunityaction.org.ukThe next meeting will be held on Tuesday 18th of June 10.30am.
