Developing New Projects

Participants may create, lead and deliver a new project from scratch or take part deciding their level of involvement and ownership. They can get ideas off the ground, learn new skills and make new friends.

Volunteering
.

Volunteers can gain qualifications, a new career path, new friends, practical experience, strong skills to put on their CV, and have lots of fun and even discover hidden talents. They can start their own projects or workshops or work with any of the 200 organisations that offer volunteers these things.

The first residential outing for VAN's Advisory Group in partnership with the Scouts. There was music, a campfire and people slept under the stars.
