EuroVIP training for Volunteering Matters
Volunteering Matters EuroVIP Training.
A short while ago, we had the pleasure to announce the publication of the Portfolio for Volunteering experiences – Based on the ProfilPASS as part of our EuroVIP project.
In the coming months, the Volonteurope team will be providing training opportunities for Volunteer mangers to become acquainted with the use of the Portfolio.
On April 13, we will be training the Full Time Volunteering, Employee Volunteering and Positive Futures London teams of our hosting organisation Volunteering Matters in the use of this tool. The goal of this training is to make volunteering mangers acquainted with the use of the tool and enables them with the opportunity to raise feedback on its use.
An additional training opportunity for other volunteering organisations is foreseen in one of the upcoming NNIVIA meetings, of which we will keep you updated.
Volunteering in the UK
According to the National Council For Voluntary Organisations’ (NCVO) UK Civil Society Almanac 2016 42% of the UK population over the age of 16 undertook a formal volunteering engagement at least once a year. Formal volunteering is considered giving help to giving unpaid help through a group, club or organisation. Since 2001, this number is more or less stable with the rates of adults formally volunteering at least once in the last year continue to be within five percentage points of each other.
