Lunch and Learn - Why We Need Trauma-Informed Practice in Volunteer Management, with Maria McEvoy

Join us for a Lunch and Learn session with Maria McEvoy as she explores the critical importance of "Why We Need Trauma-Informed Practice in Volunteer Management." In this insightful talk, Maria will discuss how understanding and addressing trauma can significantly impact the well-being and effectiveness of your volunteers. Learn how to create a supportive environment that recognises and responds to trauma, ensuring that your volunteer program is both compassionate and inclusive.

Maria has been working in the voluntary sector for 10 years but her life as a volunteer is much longer. She has led volunteering programmes at the Sea Cadets, London Fire Brigade, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline and The Kids Network. She now leads the Grandmentors programme at Volunteering Matter supporting Care Experienced Young People through volunteer mentoring and has just launched her own company Inclusive Volunteering to share what she has learned about making volunteering accessible, inclusive and trauma-informed with the rest of the sector.
