April Workshops delivered by PAVS.

 

 

In these increasingly difficult economic times, effective management and good governance are central to the success and survival of voluntary groups. Strengthening the committee is an essential element to achieve this.  As part of its  training programme, Pembrokeshire Association of Volunteer Services (PAVS) is running workshops in April aimed at helping local voluntary and community groups  address some of the issues affecting them.

A good chair is vital for the leadership of any organisation,  a ‘How to be an Effective Chair’ training course is being run in 11^th April, which is aimed at individuals who are new to the to the role of the Chair, or existing Chairs who wish to refresh their knowledge. The session will cover the role of the chair; the skills and knowledge required and top tips for running a successful meeting.

Health and safety are key responsibilities of any committee, the ‘How to do Risk Assessments - premises’ workshop being run on 17^th April will help in this area. This session will be useful for those who are new at carrying out risk assessments in community buildings, offices, charity shops etc. By the end of the session participants will understand the purpose of, and be able to undertake a risk assessment for their organisation.

Both courses are being run at PAVS offices in Haverfordwest ,and for more information and a full programme of courses and workshops, go to the  PAVS website or contact a member of the Development team at PAVS on 01437 769422 or development@pavs.org.uk to reserve a place on either of these training sessions.
