This event aims to consider some of the digital communication and engagement options that are currently available for volunteer managers.
Hearing both theory and practical examples, we aim to build up a coherent picture of how organisations can benefit from readily available and affordable technology. By enabling volunteer managers to communicate more effectively, digital tools have the potential to engage volunteers more productively, but it is vital to use the right tool for the job.
