They have been planned to bring volunteers &amp; volunteer managers from different groups together so that we can all meet &amp; learn from each other at a local level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the \u20185 Ways to Wellbeing\u2019 model as our guide we will explore how volunteering can support a person\u2019s overall wellbeing, how good recruitment planning and\/or selecting the right role is a key to success with this, why fostering inclusivity &amp; diversity matters to volunteer wellbeing, and how to handle challenges or difficulties that may arise in volunteering organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to run sessions over lunchtime (to make them as accessible to as many people as possible) with food &amp; drink being provided for all attendees. We are also running similar sessions in other council areas in NI so, if your organisation has multiple sites or volunteers who live outside of Newry Mourne and Down who would like to attend, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteernow.co.uk\/organisations\/involving-volunteers\/volt\/\">calendar here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To make a booking, or if you have any queries, about these workshops please contact <a href=\"mailto:raquel.rodrigues.keenan@volunteernow.co.uk\">raquel.rodrigues.keenan@volunteernow.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raquel Rodrigues Keenan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteering Development Officer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My current work hours are Mon-Fri 9.30am-3.00pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T: 028 9023 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get social with us \u2026 on Facebook:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VolunteerNow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VolunteerNow<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VolunteerNowYouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VolunteerNowYouth<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VolunteerNow1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@VolunteerNow1<\/a>&nbsp;\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VNEnterprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@VNEnterprise<\/a>&nbsp;and Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/volunteernow1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@volunteernow1&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.volunteernow.co.uk\/volunteering\/inspire-me\/christmas-volunteering\/\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteernow.co.uk\/volunteering\/inspire-me\/christmas-volunteering\/\">\u00a0Christmas Volunteering &#8211; Volunteer Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteernow.co.uk\/volunteering\/inspire-me\/christmas-volunteering\/\">Please consider the environment before printing this email<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to network, learn and share with other volunteer involving organisations?&nbsp; Our Link, Lunch and Learn sessions are free and are designed to give people the opportunity to focus on a volunteering issue with other like-minded individuals.
