Today we lost a good friend and champion – RIP Dr Steve Mansfield

It is with great sadness that today we must mourn the loss of Dr Steve Mansfield.  A long term supporter of our work and in our opinion an all round good guy.  Unfortunately Steve lost his 9 month battle with cancer yesterday and we wanted to send out our love, support and gratitude to his family and wife Madeline at this difficult time.  MMU-team-474x316-landscape

Steve was one of our first customers in his role as Associate Head of Employability at Manchester Metropolitan University.  His support and advice in those early days were so valuable that we are forever grateful.  We continue to work closely with the team at MMU and we will take this work forwards as an ongoing testament to Steve and his faith in us.

Steve will be missed by us all.

Sports Volunteering Conference is a huge success for TeamKinetic and Manchester Metropolitan University

It is with a huge sense of pride we are happy to announce the Sports Volunteering Conference run in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University is to return again next year. This year’s event was a real pleasure to be involved in and although we have learned some really useful lessons for the next event, we are already planning and looking forward.

The day was filled with positive stories about how Volunteering and the volunteers themselves make such a difference to events, organisations, and everyday sports people.  Hearing from a wide range of speakers who shared their experiences on the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, Universities and just about everything else in between was really inspiring.

The conference was also an opportunity to pose some difficult questions that as Volunteer organisers and and strategic planners we need to look at.  It was clear that there is a real need for greater insight and understanding about what motivates volunteers, are there different types of volunteers and how we get our clubs to better engage with a wider Volunteer workforce.

Over the next few days we will be releasing some more notes on the event and the slides that were used by the presenters so please feel free to share and use as you require, and I look forward to seeing you all at our next event in 2015.
