Connected Voice Magazine Winter 2024

The Winter 2024 issue of Connected Voice Magazine is all about Learning and Development, and how staff and volunteers working in the voluntary sector benefit greatly from ongoing training and development.

We hear from Connected Voice Deputy Chief Executive Giovanni Spatuzzi about the importance of learning and development both within and beyond the sector, and why we felt compelled to make this the focus of our Winter 2024 issue.

For our Newcastle Spotlight feature, we speak to JET (Jobs, Education and Training) about their current employment and skills-related projects, and what these might look like going forward. And for our Gateshead Spotlight feature, we speak to Handcrafted in Deckham about their unique variety of projects and initiatives.

We also hear from our Volunteering team about the opportunities for learning and development on offer via our Volunteer Coordinators’ Network meetings in Newcastle and Gateshead. There are also plenty of insights from elsewhere in the Connected Voice team, including from our Support and Development, Health Equity and Advocacy teams.

We hope you enjoy our final Connected Voice Magazine of 2024!
