Gateshead Volunteer Coordinators' Network is run by Connected Voice for anyone who manages volunteers in Gateshead. You can sign up for this meeting on our website.
Meeting theme: Effective Volunteer Management
This support network is for those working alongside and supervising volunteers in the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector within Gateshead.
Our Network offers the opportunity to connect with other volunteer engagement professionals, and provides a space for support and advice, to encourage and promote excellence in volunteering across Gateshead.
Guest speakers:
Margaret Carlin, Teams Life Centre: Supporting diverse volunteers to help in a busy, public facing community centre.
Paul McKinnell, Caregivers Connected: Safe and accessible recruitment/induction strategies for volunteer delivery.
Nicky, SAFE by CST: Promoting 'Community Togetherness' and sharing security knowledge with VCSE's that are vulnerable to violence, extremism or hate crime.
Through the Gateshead Volunteer Centre, we help organisations with all things volunteering. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like a chat about best practices; your volunteering polices, processes, recruitment, induction etc.
We also promote volunteering roles for free on OurGateshead.
We welcome any questions or queries you may have, please contact Harley Kuyck-Cohen, Gateshead Volunteer Development Coordinator at harley.kuyck-cohen@connectedvoice.org.uk or call 0191 235 7038
