For Trustees’ Week 2024, the focus is on trustee recruitment and retention.
We will explore how to recruit trustees and committee members and what support you would like from VAMT to support your committee and retain people to maintain your charity/group.
Come along and meet other committee members and trustees to share good practice and ideas regarding recruitment and retention.
There’s also a cuppa, cake and a quiz too !
To book your place contact karen.vowles@vamt.net
Did you know 70% of shoppers will do their Christmas shopping online this year. And did you know this shopping can easily turn into funding for your organisation?
Everyone’s favourite Christmas gift retailers like eBay, Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, Currys, Etsy, M&S, Boots, Dunelm, Waterstones and Lakeland more will all donate money to your organisation when your supporters, volunteers, trustees and community shop with them.
It's very easy - an online shopper simply buys something from one of the above retailers or 8,000 others, and the retailer sends your voluntary organisation, charity, or CIC a free donation as a thank you, at no extra cost to the shopper. All you need to do is tell your supporters about it and watch the donations come in.
To take advantage of this festive fundraising idea, simply register your organisation with funding website easyfundraising.
A “Quiz Night” will be held on Wednesday 13th November at 7pm at the West End Bowls Club, The Walk, Merthyr Tydfil.
