Creating events is very easy and can be a great way to collate a bunch of opportunities that are related to a specific occasion, e.g. a festival. This will make the opportunities easier for your volunteers to find and easier for providers to manage. 

You can find out more about how we’ve previously helped organise large events in this blog post!
