Volunteering Residential Weekend - by Jenny Pead and Martha Brown

Every October for the last seven years, Project Leaders and Committee members from Hallam Volunteering have packed their bags and gone on a residential weekend all in the name of the cause. This year seven members of staff and 38 Project Leaders took off to Buxton for a fun filled team-building weekend.


Lasting from Friday to Sunday, the residential trip is said to be 'one of the perks' of being part of Hallam Volunteering. Activities available to the daring group included archery, climbing, low ropes & problem solving, all with the aim of getting a better understanding of the projects that they are leading, and developing skills needed to fulfil their roles successfully. The intention was to have every project represented on the weekend to enable the leaders to interact and get to know each other, as well as allowing them to get an understanding about all the new projects and the teams that run them.


The activities in Buxton all contribute to the teams carrying out their invaluable work in Sheffield communities.

So if you fancy going on this fully-funded, fun-packed weekend, then why not consider applying to be a representative with Hallam Volunteering next year?
