Events

Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire (VANL) is a new organisation, launched in April 2010 to support the needs of the voluntary and volunteering sectors in North Lanarkshire.

During August - September 2010 VANL is hosting six Voluntary Sector Locality Networks across North Lanarkshire for volunteers and voluntary sector organisations to come together to share key information.

If you are a volunteer or paid member of staff in a local voluntary organisation, and feel you would benefit from coming together with other volunteers and organisations to discuss key issues affecting voluntary action in your town then these meetings may be beneficial to you.
