There’s been some great work during the European Year of Volunteering 2011 – it’s time to celebrate it

The European Year of Volunteering 2011 is drawing to a close, so it’s time to take stock of all the fantastic achievements made in the last 12 months. That’s why Putting Wales on the Map: A Day Celebrating the European Year of Volunteering 2011 is such an important event for the sector.

Taking place on Monday, 5 December 2011, at Cardiff City Hall (12pm-4.30pm), the event will showcase the amazing work of Wales’ volunteers and voluntary organisations, while expert speakers, including Andy Klom of the European Commission in Wales, will offer their views on volunteering across Wales and Europe. There will also be a range of workshops in which delegates will be able to hear about the year from the perspectives of the volunteers themselves.

The full programme is available here – check it out for full details of this day of celebration. And then book your place by clicking here.

If you’re involved in volunteering in Wales, this is the perfect opportunity to look back on what’s been a great year – and to look forward to 2012. It’s not to be missed.
