Volunteer & Skills Fair

On Wed 1st Oct, the Sustainable Futures Forum is hosting a one-off, free event to facilitate connections and collaborations between local sustainable and community organisations looking for support - with businesses, professionals and volunteers wanting to donate their expertise and/or time to good causes.

Taking place at The Green Room at The Grand, Folkestone - as a drop in between 11.30am - 2pm (with snacks provided!) - this will be an opportunity to find, meet and learn more about your perfect match of high impact local people and projects.

Whether you’re looking for, or can offer, professional specialist expertise or just an extra pair of hands - everyone is welcome.

Opportunities can be both one-off, short term projects, or longer term partnerships - whatever is right for you, your team, your organisation or your project; both large and small.

We’ll help you identify a range of potential connections and opportunities ahead of the event; so you can use the event to meet and get to know each other in person, and ensure you are a good match for each other - without any pressure.

If you are, or you’ve ever wanted to, create a positive impact locally - but in way that is practical and works for your - this is the event for you!

……….

Examples of the who and how you can give, or get, value from the Community Skills Exchange;

You may be a sustainable charity or CIC who needs organisational support with your marketing, finances, or how to manage volunteers better!

As a professional or business, you may have allocated volunteering days that you want to put to good use on something you care about locally - but you’re not sure who or what is happening locally and how to get involved.

You may be a consultant or SME with specialist expertise but limited time - so you want to find a way to maximise your impact with one-off or short term highly focused professional pro-bono support.

As a grassroots group you may needs ‘more hands on deck’ for either a specific project, or as part of a growing team of passionate volunteers and longer term supporters.

Or you may be a school looking for work experience and collaboration opportunities to inspire, engage and up skill your young people
