Description

An interactive workshop discussing Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV), a national approach to ESV.

Volunteer Scotland are leading the development of a national approach to ESV - Action 42 in Scotland’s Volunteering Action Plan. And we want to hear from you! This workshop is for anyone interested in ESV, whether you are representing a volunteer-involving organisation, a private company, a third sector interface, or ESV broker.

Participate in an active and interactive discussion about the future of ESV in Scotland. We want to hear from you about your hopes, experiences and reflections on ESV to shape a future national approach. We’ll also be sharing what we have learned from an extensive desk review of ESV offers, benefits and quality standards. You’ll hear case studies from different perspectives that spotlight cutting-edge ESV programmes in Scotland. There will also be an opportunity to find out about staying involved in this work going forward as VS will facilitate future sessions.
