9 -10 September 2008, Venue: University of Warwick, Coventry

This two-day annual conference is a unique opportunity for academics as well as researchers and practitioners within voluntary and community organisations, to come together and share ideas in thought provoking sessions. This year's conference will be exploring a wide range of topics such as: the voluntary sector's relationship with the government; the impact of public policy on volunteering; young people; rural issues; measuring performance; funding; and many more issues which are relevant to the voluntary sector. There will also be a session for new researchers.
