This practical session is for organisations interested in involving young volunteers but unsure about areas like insurance, safeguarding, DBS checks and health & safety.

Hear from Dorset Blind Association, Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, and The Parks Foundation, three local charities already involving 16 – 17‑year‑old volunteers. They will share their experiences, what’s worked well, and how they’ve managed practical considerations. A short Q&A will follow each speaker, giving you the chance to ask questions.
