Our volunteer conference that took place in December 2022 was a resounding success, with 55 attendees coming together in Inveraray to share their experiences and insights.

The conference was a great opportunity for volunteers and Volunteer Involving Organisations from the Third sector to come together, network, and learn from one another. What's more, we conducted a sector survey to get a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by volunteers in different areas.

The findings of the survey can be found by clicking the button below and make for fascinating reading.

Such was the success of the conference that plans are already underway to hold two similar events every year, providing an invaluable platform for volunteers to come together and make a real difference in their communities.
