Events

white block

Throughout the year we organise a wide range of events designed to bring together everyone with an interest in voluntary and community action at local, regional and national levels.

Annual conference and agm

Our annual conference and agm is one of the highlights of the year. It is when NAVCA members and other like-minded people get together to celebrate the strength of our movement, share best practice and motivate each other to continue to do great work.

Using the law to challenge unfair decisions

A chance to learn how you can use public law to protect your organisation or your sector from unfair funding decisions.

NAVCA has been at the forefront of helping organisations challenge unfair decisions for more then six years. In that time, we've trained more than 2,000 people in 200 workshops in the use of public law and the compact.

These events are an extension of this support and can provide you with the knowledge you need to understand if you've been treated unfairly and what to do next.

Chief Officers' Residential Event

Speaker at event

Every year we also run a residential event for chief officers and senior managers from local support and development organisations.

These events are a mixture of networking, policy updates and professional and personal development.

NAVCA's 2013 Chief Officers' Residential Event (CORE) will take place on 17 -18 September at the Park Inn by Radisson in York. The venue is a five minute walk from the railway station and overlooks the river.

NAVCA orientation days

A couple of times a year we organise an orientation, learning and networking event for senior staff in NAVCA member organisations.

We're aiming to run our next event in the autumn at our offices in Sheffield. Register your interest in attending by emailing events@navca.org.uk.

Find out more about how these days can help you.
