National Forum on Older Volunteering

The National Forum on Older Volunteering has been set up by RSVP for organisations using or recruiting older volunteers. Its role is to facilitate the exchange of news and information and to build on good practice between organisations. Its members are from the public and private sector as well as from voluntary organisations. The Forum meets quarterly in different parts of Scotland in order to encourage wide participation.

At each Forum meeting ideas and examples of innovative work are shared and issues affecting older volunteers are raised. Barriers which may prevent older people from volunteering are explored and means of removing them discussed. Individual member organisations are invited to showcase aspects of their work for particular projects on which they are engaged.

Issues of particular interest and concern are fed back to the Scottish Executive.

For news of the next Forum.

The next Forum will take place on Thursday 24 March 2011 from 11.30 until 1.30 in Seminar Room 5, 2nd floor of Waverley Gate, 2-4 Waterloo Place Edinburgh.
