Volunteer Training Day

Start date 02/10/2010
End date 02/10/2010
Location South Ribble BC, West Paddock, Leyland, PR25 1DH
Commencing 10 for 10.30 out by 15.30 this day is designed to provide the courses requested by volunteers:
Chairing the Branch - Guidance on the practical aspects of managing a successful committee - ideal for all levels of experience.
Grants - This is a core activity for many branches but can still cause major problems. A speaker from the grants team at MSNC will be coming. Not just for support officers but for all those involved in making decisions on grants.
Fundraising - the fundraising team will help with ideas and planning. Please note we need at least 8 volunteers to sign up or this option will not run. Last year it was sadly cancelled due to lack of numbers, so please book your place.
Providing good services - Advice on setting up an exercise or therapy group including guidance on service level agreements and risk assessments for existing services.
Recruiting and retaining volunteers - Cancelled as this was the topic of our last round of sector meetings.
Welcome aboard - a valuable introduction to the MS Society for all new volunteers.
