CVS Inverclyde CEO, Charlene Elliott, said: “Both volunteering and social enterprise make enormous contributions to the Inverclyde economy, environment, and our communities. The Showcase event will spotlight the creativity and innovation of individual organisations and the collective impact of social enterprises and volunteering.
“This is a fantastic learning and networking opportunity for charities, social enterprises and anyone looking to discover new opportunities in the third sector.
“The programme is packed with a huge variety of speakers, workshops and activities throughout the day.
“We’ll be hearing from local volunteers about their roles and experiences – prepare to be inspired by their stories.
“So many individuals and organisations from across Inverclyde’s third sector and beyond are taking part and I’m grateful to all of them for their time and contributions.
