“Volunteers are the ‘engine room’ of our clubs, and without them they cannot function properly, while raising additional funding is a constant theme for helping kick start club initiatives to increase their activities.
“This will be an interactive evening with the objective that every participant goes away with constructive ideas of how to improve their club’s ability to cope with these vital areas of club management to help grow your club.
Our key speakers are Amy Griffiths from Energize Shropshire who will speak on ‘Empowering Communities Manager’ and will also lead on the volunteering and fundraising agenda items.
