Be The Good Summit: Reimagining Volunteering Together
Volunteering is at the heart of our community here in Hertfordshire. As the way people engage with volunteering continues to evolve, it's more important than ever for organisations to come together to share ideas, difficulties and experience, as well as explore new approaches that inspire, support and retain volunteers.
That's why we're excited to highlight the upcoming 'Be The Good' Summit: Reimagining Volunteering Together, taking place in Letchworth Garden City on Thursday 9th July.
Hosted by North Herts & Stevenage CVS in partnership with Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation and North Herts Council, this free event will bring together charities, community groups, faith organisations, social enterprises, trustees, volunteer managers, and sector leaders from across North Hertfordshire and Stevenage.
A Chance to Shape the Future of Volunteering
The summit is designed to spark fresh conversations about how volunteering can continue to thrive in our communities. Whether you're responsible for recruiting volunteers, leading an organisation or supporting community initiatives, this event offers the opportunity to step back, reflect and learn from others facing similar opportunities and challenges.
Attendees will hear from Rob Jackson FRSA, an internationally recognised volunteer engagement specialist and one of the UK's leading voices on volunteer management and engagement. His keynote session will provide fresh perspectives on how organisations can better attract, retain and support volunteers in a changing world.
