On Wednesday, our Marketing and Media Coordinator Matti went along to the annual Lincolnshire Voluntary Engagement Team meeting at Lincoln Bishop University!
Matti says:
"The LVET Conference was a fabulous opportunity to connect with people from charities and voluntary organisations and social enterprises from across Lincolnshire.
There was a passion for more collaboration and going beyond usual networking and wellbeing hubs are integral spaces to help put on activities which help empower us to come together to look after our mental health and emotional wellbeing."
There was a discussion around what leading change from the ground up looks like led by Vicky Thomson Chief Executive of Every-One. And that means:
🌟 Centering storytelling
🌟 Active listening
🌟 Showing vulnerability to encourage others
🌟 Spotting shared goals across opposing views
Huge Thanks to Team LVET for a thoughtful and engaging day and to the keynote speakers - Chris Wheway, Chief Executive of St Barnabas Hospice, Nikki Cooke, Chief Executive of LIVES, Jon Mansfield, Chair of the Board of Trustees at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park and Wendy Moore, Company Secretary of the Park!
