Sustaining & Developing the Future of Volunteering Conference

Join us for a morning of engagement, research, and support!   We are closing up Volunteers’ Week by taking a moment to focus on those who look after volunteers – the Volunteer Coordinators and Managers.  We will also be kicking off our planning for the UN Year of Volunteering for Sustainable Development 2026, which launches on 5 December.  Attendees will be asked to give their input and opinions about the issues the UN and IAVE are focusing on the current and future landscape of volunteering; what is needed to make volunteering survive, thrive, and deliver, especially with regards to sustainability and development.

We are delighted to welcome Chris Wade as one of our Keynote Speakers.  Chris will look at how we support our volunteers in this digital and changing world.  We have much more flexible and one-off volunteering as well as the challenges of micro and virtual volunteering.  This conference will provide practical solutions to the challenges we face.

We will finish with lunch and an opportunity for networking.
