We're at the University of Suffolk today for our first Community Champions Conference! Today is all about celebrating our incredible volunteers, and equipping them with the tools they need to continue making a difference. We have a range of inspiring talks and workshops on throughout the day for our volunteers to attend, kindly given by a group of amazing facilitators. A special thank you goes to Steve Allman our keynote speaker. Steve is a charity coach and consultant with almost 30 years experience at every level, from volunteer through to CEO and Chair. In his opening keynote, Steve will share his thoughts about the impact of volunteering, valuing volunteers and no doubt a few stories from his own experiences over the years. We're looking so forward to a day filled with appreciation for our wonderful volunteers!

What can charities teach us about the power of soft skills? 🧑🏫 Rob Thacker from Sona Insurance Solutions explains how his experience as chair of Home-Start in Suffolk has informed his approach to business. Click below to read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/eZipzP7s

At the start of the year, they all agreed to take part in our running challenge, mostly self-confessed 'non-runners' they have all been training hard and raising money to kindly support Home-Start in Suffolk. With thanks to Luke Read from Airborne Fit who has supported our runners on this journey and who will be running with the team on Sunday too. We want to thank them all for their amazing efforts and commitment to this challenge and wish them all the best for Sunday.
