The Volunteer Coordinators’ Network meeting provides a space for those who oversee the work of volunteers to seek peer support in a confidential space from others in a similar role. It is an opportunity to share best practice and to learn from the rich experiences of colleagues working across our diverse sector.
The Network is open to those overseeing the work of volunteers in organisations big and small and involving volunteers in a variety of ways.
Please register via the button below and further details and joining instructions will be sent in due course. The plan is to hold this meeting in person at our office in Reading Central Library, but this will be confirmed closer to the event.

Third Floor, Reading Central Library, Abbey Square, Reading, RG1 3BQ
Reading has a wide variety of charities and community groups, of various sizes. Smaller groups have told us that they would like more specialist support as they have different challenges to larger groups. RVA therefore runs a Small Groups’ Forum for charities and community groups who are:
- Mainly volunteer led
- With an income below £50K
If you are a small group, come along to our next forum on Wednesday 18 September. The session will cover:
- An overview of the Reading-wide Voluntary and Community Sector survey, and how you can provide your views and responses as a small group.
- Funding opportunities for small groups.
- Safety tips for running your sessions.
- Networking with each other.
This is a friendly, informal session hosted by the Herjeet Vass from the RVA team, so don’t worry if you haven’t attended one of these sessions before. Refreshments will be provided.
If you have any access needs (such as a visual or physical impairment), just let us know in advance by emailing training@rva.org.uk and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Registration and refreshments from 10:15. Session starts at 10:30.
Free event, but please book online at www.eventbrite.co.uk to confirm your place. We hope to see you there.
