Today it’s our Autumn meeting for the Volunteering Wales Network (VWN). We’ve been focusing on #YouthVolunteering & hearing from some of the Volunteering Wales Strategic Grant holders. So many to reflect on & action. Thank you all for an informative & reflective day.

I finally found it! A helpful read on why & how to manage energy not time. Useful to consider in context of #4dayworkweek - how can we bring the best versions of ourselves to work & our lives? It mentions how contributing to a purpose helps our energy - #volunteering anyone?

I freaking love a #conference! So many inspiring speakers & great topics to engage with at the IAVE #WorldVolunteeringConference - it’s only the opening presentations & already sparks flying! WCVA | CGGC - so much to discuss with colleagues & wider partners #volunteering

Learning more about the work & #volunteering of the #NationalParks in #SouthKorea. Colleagues are keen to be linked to our National Parks in #Wales ⁦WCVA | CGGC⁩ ⁦Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park⁩ ⁦@eryrinpa⁩

I’m not a fan of flying… but Fiftyone, I have had 4 extremely pleasant flights over the past week. Thank you. Excited to be arriving home full of energy & inspiration for #volunteering in #Wales following the #WorldVolunteeringConference in #SouthKorea

It’s been inspiring to hear how the WCVA | CGGC Volunteering Wales Strategic Grants are getting on, amplifying that EVERYONE has skills they can share through volunteering. Next steps for me are to support the connectivity between the grants & the wider sector. #volunteering

Looking to create or develop a volunteering project in Wales? Very exciting to see the new round of grants open enabling Wales to deliver high quality & awesome volunteering experiences for all!

Here at the #JoinedUpSummit & reminded about the #PowerofYouth Charter - just a reminder to colleagues in #Wales we have a charter for #youthvolunteering & #youthsocialaction - wcva.cymru/wp-content/upl… #iwill #byddaf #crosssector #collaboration WCVA | CGGC

Rebecca Carr-Smith, Portland Charity - we asked young people what they wanted to do for enrichment (meaning extra curricular stuff I think?!) no. 1 was ‘to have fun’. Are our #volunteering opportunities in #Wales fun enough to attract young people & keep them coming back?

Just been learning about this toolkit - eavesdropping at #JoinedUpSummit. From YMCA Scotland & YouthLink Scotland. Do we have anything like this in Wales? #PositiveMasculinity #MotherofBoys #NoKnivesBetterLives youthlink.scot/news/launch-of…

The most beautiful coffee thanks to Georgina The Vale Resort (it looks like a Christmas Tree!) - powering my work WCVA | CGGC today - which includes bringing learning to life from the #WorldVolunteeringConference & preparing for 2025/26

Amazing to be at the #YouthWorkConference2025, the first one since 2020! Can’t wait to get started!
