Training for all volunteers on our new ways of volunteering and digital tools

We’re running a series of live online training sessions on how to use our new digital tools and our new ways of volunteering.  

There are three types of session available, tailored to the volunteering tasks you complete. Each is 1.5 hours long. If useful, you can stay on the call for an optional 30-minute Q&A session which’ll take place at the end with experts on hand. 

If you want to attend a live session, please sign up for the day that works for you. Alternatively, a video has been provided covering the same content, which you can view at your own leisure. More bite sized training videos will be added to this page by 23 November 2024.
