Volunteer Befriending Speed Dating
35-39 London Street, Reading RG1 4PS
A networking opportunity for people interested in befriending, but wanting to find out a bit more first without doing lengthy research into which organisation offers what, when and where. You'll meet a range of organisations in a short space of time. You will get to quiz a number of people from different befriending schemes (existing volunteer befrienders, members of staff and possibly the odd befriendee) about how their system works, what's in it for you and what would be expected of you as a volunteer.
After a quick-fire 'speed dating' session (three minutes with each befriending scheme rep) there will be a more relaxed networking opportunity. If you don't have time to stay though, just hand in your check list to show which organisations you would like to hear from again and your details will be passed on.
The event is free, but in order to allow management of numbers for speed dating, please book your place at www.eventbrite.co.uk to come along.
