This month and next, the Nantwich Buddies are giving back to our members (and volunteers around the world!) by hosting a Virtual Volunteer Expo. The Expo will provide a range of LIVE and online workshops that all volunteers can attend in the comfort of their own homes.
Liz Parkin founder of the Buddies wanted to give something back to the volunteers in the way of training, upskilling and enjoyment, not only for the Buddies but for anyone who volunteers in the community.
There is a diverse mix of talented and caring commercial and charitable organisations in our network so we have invited them to host an interactive and interesting workshop as part of #VolExpo20
The FREE #VolExpo20 kicks off at 7.30pm tonight (Monday 21 Sept) and continues tomorrow evening with three different topics each day:
MONDAY

8.00pm - Introduction to British Sign Language with Jo Grubb from JG Creative: An interactive, live session where Jo will teach us some basic sign language to help us communicate more effectively with clients with hearing impairment.
