Opportunities for Sheffield Volunteer Reading Mentors

A quick post for volunteer reading mentors in Sheffield, or for that matter any volunteers in Sheffield.
I have had a little bit of involvement with the Sheffield Volunteering Strategy (here is a picture to prove it) it is an excellent and realistic project. The team involved are looking for Volunteering Ambassadors to sing the praises of being a volunteer in Sheffield.

Another event that you might like to get involved with; next Tuesday 30 March 2010, Voluntary Action Sheffield (VAS) are hosting a Meet the Candidates - Election Question Time. Nicola Bates for the Conservatives in Sheffield Hallam, and Paul Blomfield for Labour in Sheffield Central will be meeting local volunteers after the event to find out more about what Sheffield volunteers do to help local people and why their work is important.

If you are volunteer in Sheffield why not head along and speak to Nicola and Paul, see Clare Walsh's post for more information.

Hi Richard

Thank you very much for highlighting these opportunities. Any volunteers who are interested in getting involved in the strategy would be most welcome and appreciated!

Thanks Claire,

I didn't think I would make it (it's the last week before the Easter break, and there is lots to finish up) but I have found some time and will see you at the 'Election Question Time - Meet the Candidates' event tomorrow.
