MVA 2026 AGM, Volunteer Awards & 'Local Grassroots for Resilience' Event

Join us for a full day celebrating volunteers and digging into how local grassroots efforts can boost community resilience!
About this Event

Join your sector colleagues and local businesses from across Medway for an energising 'Speed Networking' session of quick-fire introductions and conversations.

This free event offers topical bitesize skills briefings to boost small VCSEF organisations' resilience, followed by a 'Speed Networking' session of quick-fire introductions and conversations.

If you are a grassroot group or organisation supporting communities across Medway and North Kent you will not want to miss this first ever cross-sector and multi-area event. Along with new skills and networking the event looks to the future by strengthening collaborative working potential across the wider region.

The event is being held on 11th November 2026 and starts with MVA's AGM & Barry Clout Volunteer Awards, followed by the 'Local Grassroots for Resilience' skills and networking activities.

Book your space today to boost your knowledge, build new connections and take-away practical ideas you can implement to build your resilience over the coming months and years.

Local Grassroots for Resilience is an 'LGR' event that will definitely be taking place this Autumn - strengthening the sector and our ability to collaborate regardless of any actual LGR decisions!

More information and a full agenda for the event will be coming out soon.

If you have any questions in the meanwhile, please contact Lisa or Tricia at MVA on [email protected].

*Please note that there is a limit of 2 spaces per organisation.
