Rob Jackson, one of the leading authorities on volunteering, will kick off the day by challenging us to rethink how we understand and engage 21st century volunteers.


Anshu Gupta, inspirational speaker and founder of community development NGO ‘Goonj’ in India will speak about changing the language of giving and receiving; prioritizing the dignity of the receiver and putting the decision-making back into their hands.


We will also be hosting a discussion on developing strategic partnerships between corporate and community organisations, exploring how community organisations can communicate the value of their expertise and positioning within the community.


Our masterclasses this year will cover a range of topics from maintaining volunteer motivation to inclusive volunteer recruitment and LGBTQ+ inclusion. We will explore successes and insights from expanding volunteer programmes and share learnings around building strong and cohesive volunteer networks. Our presenters will be discussing trends affecting volunteering and participation, advocating for the value of volunteer management, and myth busting the garda vetting process.
