The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) held a Campaigning Conference on September 3rd.
Katy Styles was given the opportunity, along with Alice Fuller, the MND Association?s Local Campaigning Team Leader to speak at a national campaigning conference on Tuesday 6th September, at NCVO in London.
Their topic was on Aspiring Volunteers to be Campaigns Leaders. It was great to meet so many amazing campaigns managers from so many different voluntary organisations from across the country.
Katy was the only volunteer speaking at the conference,?and she?was able to explain how the MND Association supports her and her fellow campaigns contacts to lead campaigns.
It was a great opportunity to highlight the campaigns work of the Campaigns team of the MND Association and also to make new contacts with fellow campaigners.
10.Trust us ? Joining Alice and Eleanor was Katy Styles, one of MND Associations local campaigners. It was so refreshing to hear of the ways that Katy had been able to get involved in leading MND?s campaign (Katy has helped to produce this cracking toolkit) ? and to be reminded that most people aren?t paid to campaign they do it because of a passion. The big message that I?m taking from Katy was as professional campaigners we need to let go of our concerns about brand and reputation and trust our volunteers.
