We are pleased to be offering the full ‘Volunteer Leadership’ in 2025 as an online ‘package’.
In response to feedback from volunteer leaders, we are piloting this package over a shorter period of time. The 3 sessions over 6 weeks (1 session every 2 weeks), enables all in attendance to benefit quicker from this course’s content and resources provided. This package is made up of the 3 courses that we run on a 6-montly basis.
Please note, this course has a minimum number of candidates needed to run it. If this number is not reached all registered will be offered a new package of dates or a full refund if this has to be moved for this reason.
