I remember that day! Fabulous

The day is finally upon us! Not long until everyone arrives!

Wow what a morning 🤩 We had the opportunity for some networking, listened to a fab presentation on 'The Science of #LocalAreaCoordination' by Lowri Wilkie, then witnessed and participated in a really special Q&A with Jennie, Ellen & Wendy - thank you all!!

Excellent building, excellent weather, excellent discussions! Our LACNetwork members are currently dotted all around the venue in small groups, sharing their learning journeys, knowledge, and ambitions with each other #LocalAreaCoordination

While volunteering is of immense civic value-it’s vital to emphasise that there’s a difference between neighbour-to-neighbour civic action & #volunteering. Hence, the key to collective efficacy isn’t volunteering. It’s community building -of which volunteering/ism is a subset.
