These Forums are designed to be opportunities for volunteer coordinators/managers to meet and discuss issues relating to Volunteering in Dundee. A topic is set in advance or a guest speaker is invited and attendees are encouraged to use the Forum network to share ideas and good practice.

These events have previously all been held in the Number Ten but after suggestions from Volunteer Managers in Dundee, some of the Forums will now take place in Organisations in the Community – this provides a good opportunity to see first hand the work going on elsewhere in the City.

Forums will be programmed to run on different days each time which should allow fair participation for all.

By providing Forums, events and learning opportunities our aim is to ensure that volunteers are welcomed and valued by organisations and that volunteer involving organisations are offered guidance, training and support to enable them to improve the experience of their volunteers.

We were also looking to the future of the Forum and how we can get more information to more people after each event. We will start to include a short summary of each forum in the following month’s e-bulletin and post links to documents on this webpage.
