Drop in to a session to log your own volunteer hours with help from Kyra. It can be a bit tricky for the first time doing this so dont panic alone!
We can go through how to do it and everyone will have a computer to do it yourselves. You will need a library number to log on to the computers, so if you havent already got one, we can do that there and then as well.
I have booked out 8 computers in the Community Hub for us which is on the first floor of the Harris.
What's involved?
Logging onto the Harris computers
Logging into your Volunteer Makers account (you will need to remember your log in details)
Having a go at logging your hours for any volunteering you have done at the Harris (you will need to have made a note of what the hours are with dates before you come)
Why get involved?
It is very helpful to us if you log your own hours - we run reports every month for our funders to show them how many hours you are all doing.
How to get involved?
Accept the challenge and pop down to the Harris for 10.30 on the 12th October
