About the role
Manchester’s Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector is made of thousands of organisations and individuals who use their skills to improve the quality of life in the city. They have insight that can help shape policy and decision making locally, regionally and nationally.
In Manchester, there are more than 160,000 volunteers that provide almost 500,000 hours of time, passion, skills and enthusiasm per week in support of the City’s Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector.
The Volunteer Drivers’ Network is an initiative led by Macc to connect organisations across Manchester with individuals who are able to drive and can support with community tasks. Community tasks could involve delivering food packages, transporting a service user or picking up donations, as well as many other tasks which would involve an individual needing to drive.
Emma Dowling from the University of Vienna will lead an interactive discussion about delineating volunteering as a concept based on her recent research into the phenomenon and implications for practice.
Date: Friday 15 March 2024
Time: 14:00 - 16:00
Venue: GMCVO - St Thomas Centre, Ardwick Green North, Manchester, M12 6FZ
