\n\n\n\nDeveloping a Toolkit for Digital in Volunteering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In case you hadn’t heard, we’re in the process of developing a digital toolkit for volunteer managers alongside our Partners at AVM<\/a> and Gethyn Williams<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWe recently held a roundtable discussion to get some ideas on how to shape the toolkit’s delivery and its contents. Based on this, we’ll be working alongside Gethyn and AVM to develop the toolkit and hopefully, we’ll have something for you in early 2024!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nLatest Blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThird Sector Climate Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of our latest blogs explores the third sector’s impact on our climate. A recent study from Charity Digital found that 88% of charities are concerned about climate change, but 52% are unaware of the actions that other organisations are taking to reduce their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-posts-1024x576.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSo what can we do to reduce this impact? And how can we ensure we’re always thinking sustainably and aiming for net zero climate contributions? Read our blog here for more.<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow the Culture Pass could revive event volunteering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Across the sector there have been reports that, on average, volunteering numbers took a hit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The events industry is included in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few European countries (Italy, Germany, France, Spain), have introduced a ‘Culture Pass’, giving young people money to spend on the arts – allowing them to engage with their country’s culture, from buying books to attending festivals and visiting museums.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-posts-10-1-1024x688.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThese culture passes could be key to reviving the events industry and boosting people’s interest in volunteering in these spaces. Read our blog here for more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nMonthly TeamKinetic Masterclasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe’re also always looking for new topics to cover in these Masterclasses.

Organisations across the identified 27 disadvantaged areas will receive a share of the government-funded \u00a313 million for arts groups, charities and artist-led workshops.
