'A Dialogue on Volunteering in Scotland '

Over the coming months Volunteer Development Scotland and the national network of Volunteer Centres are working together to begin a 'Dialogue on Volunteering in Scotland '. 

This is your chance to contribute your thoughts, share your views and help us to inform and influence the social and economic policy agenda in Scotland .

The first event will take place on Friday 6th June 2008 at the VDS offices in Stirling.

VDS along with the Volunteer Centres, want to connect with as many people and organisations as we can, bring them together and facilitate a creative dialogue on volunteering. We want to develop a greater understanding of volunteer development from a volunteers perspective, not only the issues and challenges, but what works well too! We want to share the results of all the dialogues widely with you, policy makers, key stakeholders and the wider community later in the year.

A second event is planned for the VCNS conference on the 16th September. Watch this space for more details.
