VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT DAYS
We hold Volunteer Development Days every year. The Development Days normally take place over a weekend and are a chance for all of our volunteers from across the UK to come together and meet in-person. These days are designed to equip volunteers with new knowledge, while offering space to connect with one another.
This year the event started with a relaxed evening meal on Friday. This was followed on the Saturday with sessions delivered by PSPA staff on communications, fundraising and more. In the afternoon, one of our volunteers Sally Reynolds, delivered a fascinating session on loss and grief, looking at different ways to view and process it. The weekend ended with break-out sessions where smaller groups were able to discuss the different volunteering roles in more depth.
Some feedback we received: “Good to be together with other volunteers, share experiences and make connections.”
