A wonderful resource

The NAVSM East Anglian hub meetings have been an incredible resource for me since I started in post as Volunteer Lead at Cambridgeshire Community Services. Everyone has been welcoming, friendly and supportive. It is a place where more experienced VSMs can guide new members, where issues around volunteering can be discussed, and where ideas and best practice can be shared. The hub meetings are a fantastic way to connect with other NAVSM members and keep updated with the wider NAVSM agenda – I thoroughly recommend them. 5 stars!
