Workshop Invitation for Yorkshire & Humber Volunteering Organisations!

Volunteer-involving organisations in Yorkshire & Humber are invited to attend a workshop on how to harness the enthusiasm generated by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and use it to inspire people to volunteer with your organisation.

This workshop will be delivered by Volunteering England as part of their Inspiration and Legacy from the 2012 Games Project (for which they have teamed up with YouthNet). The project is aimed at enabling all individuals inspired by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to quickly and easily access fulfilling, relevant and local Games inspired volunteering opportunities.

The event is particularly relevant to organisations with volunteering opportunities related to sports, arts and the environment, but is open to all volunteer-involving organisations. You will discover how to create new volunteering opportunities and tailor existing ones to make the most of the advertising that will surround the Games.
