Faye leading a presentation

By Faye Stickings,

The past few months has seen the introduction of a new venture for the UK team of Projects Abroad – Projects Abroad Information Evenings.

Whilst the numbers at our Open Days across the country are always high, it seemed unfair that for a few, it meant travelling the width of the country to find out more. So, we have set out to bring these events closer to the public, by holding smaller regional events throughout the year. In the past few months we have held Information Evenings in Durham, Cardiff and Manchester. The events are much smaller than our usual Open Days; no classic Peter Slowe style speeches (or even a cup of coffee and a choccie biccie unfortunately), but they allow a more informal meet ‘n’ greet style session to take place. It gives our potential volunteers a chance to fire questions at our staff members on a one-to-one basis and meet some of our past volunteers.

Information Evenings will now be run throughout the year in the UK in the following cities – Durham, Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Bath, so for any of you looking to meet us, please keep checking here for a date near you.
