Livability is partnering with Church Links (a charity that provides help, advice and guidance to churches and Christian organistaions across the borough of Walsall) to bring you this interactive and fun training day. The day will equip and inspire those involved in churches and Christian community projects who manage volunteers.  It will be practical and realistic so that you can implement what you learn straightaway.  You will leave equipped and encouraged to make the most of your volunteers.
