V2 Roadshows
(venues and dates below)
Volunteering England has teamed up with Volunteer2 from Canada to help provide you with a great volunteer management database. We have arranged for special pricing for Volunteering England members and for Volunteer2’s president, Tony Goodrow, to come demonstrate the software personally here in England.
Volunteer2 has designed the software with global usage in mind so the software is compatible with the proper formatting for items such as date, phone numbers and postal codes.
For an introduction to the software, visit the Volunteer2 website. Organisations with one location should look at Volunteer Impact and organisations with multiple locations or departments should look at Volunteer Umbrella. The pricing on the site can be ignored though. Volunteering England is acting as a major distributor of the software and as such, we are able to pass on great savings to you. Please refer to the pricing further below.
Come see the software in action!
