Calling all AVM Members! We’ve just launched the next round of AVM Connect which is a free service that connects AVM members together, with the aim of building networks and connections between people working in the field of volunteer management. Growing your network is a great way to develop mutually beneficial networks and learn about how different organisations support their volunteers.

With organisational change taking place in many charitable organisations across the UK as charities are forced to make difficult decisions to cut back on services and staff, how do we support our volunteers through that change? And what approaches and strategies can we employ to support our volunteer teams? Join us for our next event about Leading Volunteers Through Change, where we will be joined by Jeremy Board from St John Ambulance, who will share his understanding on the nature of change and how engagement and communication can help facilitate change and support people in moving from fearful resistance to positive commitment. Find out more and book your place - https://buff.ly/48wZW2J

Today we recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication of all volunteer managers, who inspire and empower others and make such a valuable difference to our communities. This year marks the 25th anniversary of International Volunteer Managers Day, and AVM Chair, Ruth Leonard, has written a post on the AVM blog that considers this theme by looking towards the future and reflecting on the future normal of volunteering and therefore how we involve volunteers. https://buff.ly/4fqQDDw #IVMDay #LoVols
