Advertising Workshops & Networking Events
Join our FREE Advertising Workshops & Volunteer Managers Networking Events to meet and connect with other Volunteer Managers across Glasgow!
In our Advertising Workshops, we walk you through the Volunteer Glasgow opportunity advertising system and give lots of handy tips on making your opportunity adverts as engaging and accessible as possible.
At our Networking Events, you can make connections and share ideas, news, and issues that will likely be relevant with others. This forum can be beneficial for being up-to-date and discussing solutions with experienced peers.
Keep an eye out for more FREE events coming up in early 2022 – we will have more online events but we’re hoping to host more opportunities to meet in person, too!

Training for Your Needs
Bespoke training
We can assist you in having a more fundamental look at your intended volunteer management and can offer focussed support to get you where you want to be.
Alongside the scheduled events, we continue to offer our established consultation and custom design service which can provide a specific, tailored response to your training needs. In the last few years, many local and national agencies have taken advantage of this excellent service. For some, it has been simply an opportunity to review an organisation’s training needs; for others we have been able to guide major changes in organisational structure.
A meeting to discuss things in more detail would cost nothing. So if you need training or development input and require assistance to choose the best way forward, please don’t hesitate to contact the Organisation Support Team.
