In honour of World Values Day | Booking is essential
World Values Day is a global opportunity for individuals, organisations, and communities to reflect on and celebrate the important role inner values play in building a peaceful, sustainable, and fulfilling world. This year’s theme, Values and Volunteering, invites us to consider the values that underlie the huge contribution that volunteers make to the world.
This special event is open to all volunteers, managers and leaders of voluntary organisations. Together we will go through a journey of talks, journalling, inner reflection, sharing and meditation designed to uplift and inspire us.
It will be an opportunity to:
- Explore ways of sustaining and empowering ourselves to keep on giving, despite the challenges
- Meet like-minded people who are making a valuable contribution to the world
- Explore the underlying values that inspire us to freely give support to others
- Reflect and share on the important part volunteering plays in our lives.

Ed Mayo, an influential figure in British social policy, who has held many leadership positions across the social economy and voluntary sector in the UK, including CEO of Pilotlight, Secretary General of Cooperatives UK and Director of the New Economics Foundation.
