  • The meeting is a chance to see a presentation on a topical subject followed by a chance to network with other organizations from across Plymouth.
  • The E Bulletin is sent out to over 100 member organizations on a six week-basis which contains local and national news and information on volunteering
  • All VCN members are asked to contribute to the E Bulletin with notices of up and coming Events; to post information on events and activities that have taken place; or anything within Volunteering which they will consider of interest to the Network.
