Sefton Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum

The Forum is managed by the Volunteer Centre. Meetings are held quarterly in Sefton and are attended by representatives from a wide range of local volunteer-involving organisations. The meetings are very popular and offer an ideal opportunity for often isolated volunteer co-ordinators and managers to meet, discuss issues, access information and advice and participate in informal training and workshops.

The key aims of the Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum are to:

- Enable organisations to meet and discuss a range of relevant issues
- Share and develop best practice in volunteer recruitment & management
- Respond to local, regional and national volunteering strategies
- Build and sustain the capacity of local volunteer-involving organisations - Promote and improve positive relationships between local organisations
- Recognise and promote volunteering and volunteer management
