Volunteer Training - Day 2

Roll up, Roll up for Day 2 of our Training course for Volunteers!

A week later, on Wednesday 15th October, everyone was back for more. 'Be amazed - Spectacul Groups' kicked off the morning's training, with guest speaker Gail from the Mini Millbrook Project giving a lively talk about setting up a carnival group.

Louise Evans from Southampton Voluntary Services then took to the stage to tell everyone about support that SVS can give to groups, in particular, help with fundraising applications!

Then it was off to lunch at the Aspire Training Restaurant at City College. The puddings were really good and everyone enjoyed the treat; so much so that the St Denys group are going to go back for there for their Christmas meal.

After lunch it was time for everyone to presented with their certificates and a 'bag of tricks' which included a fabulous Survival Pack full of yet more top tips on how to keep your group going. Adam from DICE then presented DICE's video, to show groups how they could advertise themselves. And Stuart followed this up with an introduction to Blogs and Facebook.

After this, everyone stumbled home, laden down with goodies and a headful of ideas. Well done to Gail and Adam, and many thanks to Louise from SVS, the students at City College and the glamorous TWICS showgirls.
