We held a small meeting and are working on a focused project to support each other and recruit more volunteers for children & young people's groups in the Newtown area.
In November we held an initial event in Tesco just to start us off and raise the profile of volunteering.
Our future plans now cover:
Practice Exchange:
Holding a Practice Exchange to share our ideas on how best to keep volunteers and support them. This will be held in April.
Volunteering Case Studies
Gathering case studies of success stories of volunteers working with children & young people. We then want to publicise these through all of our newsletters, websites etc.
Community Events to promote Volunteering
We also want to hold more events in the community to highlight volunteering opportunities.
Good News Stories inform Service Planning
The groups are also providing good news stories of how young people have gained skills/confidence from either volunteering and/or support from voluntary organisations. This information will then help to influence county wide planning of services.
Want to be involved?
If you want to become involved with the group then please contact Yvonne at PAVO, in the first instance. Keep an eye of this blog for details of dates of meetings coming up.
