The Digital in Volunteering Toolkit launches next week. But what is it? (THREAD) 🧵

There was some great advice from Jeremy Board in today's event on leading volunteers through organisational change. Thank you for all of the contributions from everyone who attended the event and also to Jeremy for giving up his time to speak with us this morning.

All AVM Members are invited to join us at our AGM on 10 Dec at 4pm. The AGM is being combined with the AVM Members’ Book Club where Graham Allcott will be joining us to talk about his new book, KIND: The Quiet Power of Kindness at Work. Find out more at buff.ly/4fl6WSt

Today, on #IVD2024, we’d like to thank everyone who has volunteered and contributed their time to help AVM and the wider volunteer management community over the last year. It’s been a pleasure to work with you all. Happy International Volunteer Day!
