Student Volunteering Research Launch
In June 2024 Anushka Swannell, a Volunteer Development Worker at Macc, did a piece of research on ‘The Current Climate of Student Volunteering in Greater Manchester.’ We invite you to the launch event for this research, where she will outline her findings and key policy recommendations. There will also be opportunities for you to discuss your experience as a student volunteer, or involving student volunteers, and how we can improve this in future.

Macc: Diversifying Trusteeship
Course Overview
92% of UK trustees are white, older, and above average income and education. Just 8% of charity trustees are from Black, Asian, and other minority backgrounds, and fewer than 3% are women of colour. 70% of charities find it difficult to recruit trustees, and there are an estimated 100,000 unfilled charity trustee positions in the UK. This half day training course is designed to demystify trustee recruitment for small organisations, and ensure that equity, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of your trustee recruitment.
