A big thank you to Jason and the team at Surrey Community Action for an interesting, informative and inspiring day at the Charity Mash Up yesterday 🙌 There were some fantastic speakers including a thought provoking and inspiring address from Debra Allcock Tyler, CEO of Directory of Social Change, who gave us her thoughts on collaboration from a national perspective. As well as a range of workshops where it was great to see the Royal Holloway Volunteering team talk about the impact of student volunteering and engaging with young people in the voluntary sector.

Another Charity Mash-Up done and dusted. We had a great time and we hope you did too. We've already received some great feedback from delegates about today's event.
