The Dundee Volunteer Managers Forum is an open peer support forum for volunteer managers to discuss issues affecting volunteering in Dundee.
A good opportunity to meet over a coffee with other volunteer managers/coordinators who work with volunteers across Dundee, share practice, discuss issues and support each other professionally. Meetings are informal and interactive – you will hear what is going on around Dundee and find out about new developments. Guest speakers are invited to share relevant news and information on their organisations. There is always time for networking too should you wish to make new contacts.
