New Blog: Volunteering for War Child \u2013 A Brits Week Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At TeamKinetic, we\u2019re always excited to see great volunteer programmes in action! Recently, Barb had the chance to support War Child in their series of Brit Week gigs. She got to experience first-hand how they engage volunteers to make a real impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can read all about her day in Glasgow here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n You can keep an eye out for future volunteering opportunities with War Child here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year we launched the Digital in Volunteering Toolkit – something we developed alongside Gethyn Williams and our partners at the Association of Volunteer Managers. It covers everything volunteer leaders and managers need to know when embracing digital in their roles. You can find out more and download the Toolkit itself via this link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re also excited to kick off something we call the Community of Practice. This is a space for volunteer managers and leaders to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll be hosting a series of monthly events, starting in May, to take a deep dive into connectivity and interoperability and how this relates to using digital in our marketing and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as a first opportunity to see and access new Toolkit content, these monthly online launches will bring together knowledgeable guests from across the world of volunteering. They’ll be sharing their digital experiences. Booking links will be available soon, but you can save the dates now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019d love for you to join us. You can sign up for the community of practice and get your hands on part one of the toolkit here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had previously planned for the latest major update, TeamKinetic 2.6.0, to be ready at the end of March and to also have our mobile app update released at the same time. However, we were sad to recently hear about a bereavement in the team at Yalla Cooperative – our collaborators on the TeamKinetic App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Out of respect for the team at Yalla, and to give them the time they need to come together in the face of this loss, we will be delaying this TeamKinetic update. We hope you will all understand. We send all our condolences to everyone at Yalla Cooperative. They are a team we have greatly enjoyed working with so far, and hope to enjoy working with again when the time is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/barb-brits-week-blog-1024x576.png\")

From selling merchandise to encouraging donations, Barb and the other War Child volunteers played a key role in raising vital funds for children affected by conflict. The week of volunteering was well-organised, welcoming, and a great example of how to create meaningful volunteer experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
