When we volunteer, we don't just give back to our communities, we also learn new things and develop new skills. Volunteering can be an avenue for personal and professional growth. So the next time you have the opportunity to volunteer, take it! You never know what new knowledge or skill you might gain. #volunteering #growth #communityengagement

What a productive week it has been! From an open event for employers to speak with students, to volunteering at Age UK, and finally, a training session on LinkedIn with Simon White. We learned all the ins and outs of the platform, including how to make our profiles stand out. A big thanks to Simon for providing us with this valuable training! #professionalgrowth #volunteering #LinkedIntraining

Today is the start of Volunteers Week. This year will see celebrations because it’s 40 years since the week started. That’s a lot of volunteering hours that have been celebrated! Over the years I’ve written several blogs about communicating with volunteers. I’ll pop a link in the comments. If you’ve only got time for the edited highlights version, here are 5 things I wanted my organisation to know when I was a volunteer: 1.      Have a clear conversation at the outset to set out not only what is expected of me, but why. 2.      Tailor your communications with me to recognise why I choose to get involved and the role that I play while I’m here. 3.      Share the stories of the difference I am part of. 4.      Listen to me. 5.      Recognise that I’m not available all the time. I’m on a break from any volunteering role at the moment, but I fully intend to get back to it in the future. There are so many benefits to both the individual and the organisation. If you’re a volunteer, what are the things that you enjoy most about it? #VolunteersWeek #volunteering #EffectiveCommunication
