Volunteering keeps our communities thriving, but leading volunteers can be both rewarding and challenging. Our friendly Volunteer Views and Brews network is for any volunteers that recruit, train, or support fellow volunteers - whether you’re a trustee, an unpaid CIC director, or simply someone who’s stepped up to lead. The only requirement is that you are a volunteer supporting volunteers. Join our quarterly online get‑together to connect with others in similar roles, share experiences, and build a supportive peer network. There’s no set agenda - just space to chat, ask questions, and see where the conversation takes us. Open to all volunteers in leadership roles. Come along to feel heard, inspired, and better equipped to lead with confidence.
