#MYMconf25

[Make Your Mark Volunteer Organisers Network @VolOrganisers]

Our campaign partners @scotrefcouncil are delving into equalities and human rights in volunteer engagement.

To deepen democracy in volunteering, they suggest interactive training, volunteer agreements, volunteer reviews and co-designing projects with volunteers.

#MYMconf25

[Make Your Mark Volunteer Organisers Network @VolOrganisers]

Our partners @rzss are exploring how their Nature Connections programme has enabled people with support needs to engage with nature.

They flag accommodating a variety of access needs, making volunteers feel valued and empowering peer mentors as key to their success.

#MYMconf25

[Make Your Mark Volunteer Organisers Network @VolOrganisers]

For one of our first workshop sessions, @HeritageFundSCO are discussing how to build an application to fund an inclusive volunteer programme.

Key costs associated with volunteering include transport, training, equipment, celebrating volunteers and more.

#MYMconf25

[Make Your Mark Volunteer Organisers Network @VolOrganisers]

We're hearing from our friends at @UniofNewcastle about how to support older volunteers who may need to stop volunteering.

They suggest making reasonable adjustments, defining the limits of support and having regular and open conversations about health and safety.
