Information - Volunteering Focus Conference: Promoting Diversity & Inclusion in Volunteering

Join Community Action Suffolk for a practical, in person, activity‑based day designed to help volunteer‑involving organisations make volunteering more inclusive. With a focus on supporting neurodivergent volunteers along with how to include volunteers in settings that could seem exclusive, such as in a ‘faith-based’ setting. The day combines expert input, hands‑on group exercises, and peer networking to share what works in real‑world settings. Refreshments and a buffet lunch are included.

Speakers:
 Dr Annie Clements – Autism & ADHD
