Description
Calling all staff from Councils for Voluntary Service (CVS's), Volunteer Centres and other Specialist Infrastructure Organisations working in London!
VCSS Camp is back! Join us for the only in-person get together for London-based development workers to talk through the hot topics that impact our work. How can we use digital and tech for smarter working and service delivery and to better support the thriving communities we work in?
We'll start the day with a celebration of our 6-Year Datawise London programme. Sharing our top 10 resources that can help you, small charities and community organisations to better use data to inform your work. For this part of the day we'll be joined by funders and other specialist support providers.
After this, we'll settle into the 'unconference', where your ideas, creativity and challenges shape the rest of the day. An 'unconference', is an event in which there is no set plan or agenda before the day starts. You call the topics you're interested in. We'll set up the rooms, and you and your colleagues can move freely and join in the conversations you have the most to contribute to and learn from. We will explain everything you need to know at the start of the day.
We'll have a wonderful lunch and refreshments throughout the day, with great opportunities to network. Please let us know of any dietary requirements in your booking form.

What topics interest you?
You may be facing challenges using everyday technology and software, using social media to reach the right people, managing hybrid working environments or delivering online training or other services. You may simply want the time and space to connect and network with others in similar roles to you, e.g. community accounts, communications officers or capacity building leads.
This day is yours and we'd love as many of you as possible to be a part of the conversation so please share this information with any members of your team that you feel would enjoy and be inspired by this event.
With thanks to our funders: City Bridge Foundation and Trust for London.
