The Community Growing and Food Network is facilitated by Durham Community Action to bring together like-minded organisations with projects or an interest related to growing and food. It enables community groups and organisations from all sectors with similar visions to connect, communicate and collaborate, supporting each other and sharing good practices.

Our next meeting will be online on Thursday 20th February from 2.00 – 3.30pm.

We will be exploring the topic of Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV): how it can be best utilised in your organisation/group to help support the work within the VCS sector in a positive and productive way.

We will hear from Mandy Kelly and Ellie Grimes on how they found their recent experiences, and from DCA’s Volunteering Specialist Charlotte Linton who will give an overview of ESV, its benefits and opportunities.

As always there will be plenty of opportunities to network, share experiences and let us know your updates. 

If you have any further questions or queries before booking please do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing lyndsey.vckers@durhamcommunityaction.org.uk
