Outstanding and extraordinary.

The partnership, involvement and co-production with students, and the accessibility to an orchestra and shared experience.

Inclusion as it ought to be 👏

[Seashell @seashelltrust]

Thanks to @the_halle who gave some special performances at Seashell earlier this week.

A small group did a workshop with students, before a larger team gave performances to students, residents, staff, families and charity donors in the early evening.

@what_claire_did @Sport_England Opportunity - yes

Inclusive recruitment and support for the diverse talent coming into a place, particularly from the outset and journeying together.

Make room, on purpose, because of values, acknowledging the potential for change lies in people.

“In order for a volunteer to spend their time, the experience must be worth their time”

Wise words from Tobi Johnson at today’s @AVMtweets event

[Stephen Pearson @stephenpearson]

Wowser, what a day of impartation and a coaching masterclass on volunteer recruitment and onboarding with Tobi Johnson.

@AVMtweets @TeamKineticUK that was epic.

Transformational.

Thank you 👏

[Stephen Pearson @stephenpearson]

I am looking forward to a day immersed in this space, practice, and learning together.

Recruitment of volunteers to join a cause, is fun, exhilarating and rewarding, knowing the benefits to all by serving on purpose.

Doing it well?

It takes resilience to master the practice

[TeamKinetic @TeamKineticUK]

We were so excited when AVM asked us to be involved with this event led by Tobi Johnson, and it's already just around the corner 👀

This Thursday we'll be welcoming everyone to Manchester for a unique all-day volunteer management workshop! 🙌

[Stephen Pearson @stephenpearson]

Fantastic news of the expansion of this way of working, in a place, with communities, coproducing better outcomes for people to be active, their way, giving agency over choice.

I am glad to have played my part in the first 3 years of the local pilot in Stockport. This works 💪

[Sport England @Sport_England]

We're delighted to announce major investment into local communities to drive equal access to sport and physical activity 📢

This targeted place-based approach will help to increase activity levels, decrease inactivity and address the inequalities that prevent people from being active.
