Volunteer Coordinators Forum (VCF)

The Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum (VCF) is a chance for people who are responsible for involving volunteers in the work of their organisation, whether as their paid job or as a volunteer themselves, to come together. It is a peer support space facilitated by Volunteer Centre Manchester, a space to share ideas and resources that you have found useful and to seek support and advice from other volunteer coordinators in the city.

If you have suggestions for agenda items, hot topics for the voluntary sector or would like to deliver some short peer training please get in touch. Equally, if your organisation has a specialism you would like to share, we can get your group on the agenda. Some examples would be, 'Increasing Diversity', 'Understanding Dyslexia' or 'Involving Volunteers with Mental Health Issues/Young People/Deaf Volunteers or People with a Criminal Record'.

The VCF meetings happen every 6-8 weeks around the city. If you are interested in attending or hosting a meeting please contact the team, call 0161 830 4770 or book at the links posted below.
