Here is a recent testimonial for our Volunteer Makers training:
“The training was really useful in bringing together the partners and giving us the time and space to reflect on where we all are with volunteering in our various organisations and how we can move forward.“For me personally it showed me how the platform can work really well to provide a framework for what is quite a complicated project with a lot of partners.”Museum Project Officer at Essex Council, Pippa Smith
