2010 Volunteering event
28 September 2010 13:30 - 17:00
City of Manchester Stadium, SportCity, Manchester M11 3FF
This event, hosted by Volunteering Greater Manchester (GMCVO) will help you find out how to create Games-inspired volunteering opportunities.
It is anticipated that the 2012 Games will give rise to an increase in volunteering activity throughout the whole country, not just in London, and the workshops are therefore being held throughout the country with the aim of encouraging volunteer involving organisations to think about how they can create new Games-inspired volunteering opportunities and benefit from this increase in volunteers from all ages and backgrounds.
The event will include exhibitors providing information and advice, signposting to your local Volunteer Centres and support with advertising Games-inspired volunteering opportunities.
There is also an evening session from 6.15 - 8.15pm.
Refreshments will be available from 5 to 6pm, when the Personal Best programme, a pre-employment initiative, will be launched.
To book a place contact sue.barrett@gmcvo.org.uk or www.gmcvo.org.uk/events or 0161 277 1001
