Volunteering organisations are increasingly being asked to clearly articulate their value, approaches and impact to d
onors, governments and partners. Yet communicating the contribution of volunteering to development, and linking it to wider agendas such as the SDGs, remains a challenge. 

This interactive workshop will help participants strengthen how they tell that story. Led by a communications professional, it will explore how to develop clear, compelling narratives, and what this means for how organisations position their work, influence partners and make the case for support. Participants will work through their own messaging and learn from peers.
