Attendees at the Network are all involved in some way with managing volunteers and the network meetings are always an opportunity to network with each other, share ideas, tips and get support.<\/p>\n<p>This meeting took a look at the latest updates to what\u2019s happening with the VANEL Supporting Volunteers Award (<strong>SVA<\/strong>) and a certificate was presented to the latest SVA accredited organisation &#8211; HWRCC.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting also took a look at the training and support on offer to help support and up-skill volunteer managers and we looked ahead to 2018 to start planning new ways to support each other in the Network.<\/p>\n<p>Most attendees now represent organisations that are in membership of the VANEL Volunteer Development Service (<strong>VDS<\/strong>) and the support and benefits from VDS formed a large part of the discussions. <a href=\"http:\/\/vanel.org.uk\/va\/2017\/12\/update-from-the-volunteer-service-at-vanel\/\">You
