Monthly Community Chat: Family Volunteering this August

The Eden Project Communities Network brings community-minded people together to support one another, turn ideas into action, and help good things happen in communities across the UK.

Join us for this monthly online meet-up with like-minded community doers, projects, groups and organisations.

On Wednesday, 5 August, we'll be joined by Maddy Mills from Family Volunteering club exploring ways to bring people of all ages together this summer. We'll look at how volunteering can engage families in community action, share practical tips and ideas, and highlight local events and opportunities to get involved near you!

Taking place on the first Wednesday of each month and hosted by a member of our team, each session will:

• Start with a short round of introductions

• Lead into a focused discussion around a different theme each month

• End with an open floor for conversations, questions, ideas or challenges brought by those in the room

It's a welcoming and informal space for everyone to make connections, catch up on and share projects, and support one another with new ideas, solutions and inspiration for their community endeavours. Together, we can achieve a lot in just 45 minutes.

Whether you're just getting started or have years of experience under your belt, we all need a sounding board or a fresh perspective from time to time. New people are always made to feel welcome, so don't worry if it's your first time joining us.

Let us know if there's a theme or topic you'd like to explore at one of our upcoming sessions. Together, we can make the most of the people, tools and connections we have to create a helpful and inspiring space for everyone.

We're excited to see you there!
