Volunteer Expo is the national event to connect volunteers, organisations and the charity sector to harness the power of volunteering. It is hosted by RIBI and will be held at the NEC, Birmingham


What is Volunteer Expo?

Volunteer Expo is the new, national event to harness the power of volunteering. Kicking off in May 2020, Volunteer Expo will connect, educate and inspire volunteers, organisations and charities to change lives and take action in their communities. It will include National Youth Finals and Rotary Institute.

Rotary Foundation Celebration Dinner

A special Rotary Foundation Celebration Dinner will be held on the evening of Friday 1st May at the National Conference Centre – less than a mile from the NEC, where Volunteer Expo is taking place.

This is a chance for you to review and explore many of the Grant Projects that clubs and districts have promoted this year across our six Areas of Focus, which underpin the good work of The Rotary Foundation.

Our guest speaker that evening will be RI Director-elect Nicki Scott.  Nicki has been Rotary President’s Representative on three occasions, Rotary Coordinator in Zone 28, Institute Chair for Zones 28 and 29, and a member of the Rotary International Strategic Planning Committee from 2016 to 2019. She is passionate about The Rotary Foundation, and has spent the last 19 years serving Rotary in the Chicago area.

All visitors to Volunteer Expo have the opportunity to book tickets to this dinner. Prior to the dinner, there will be a reception for Major Donors and Bequest Society Members.

Visiting Volunteer Expo

Guests who are not attending this reception will have the opportunity to enjoy a visit to the British Motorcycle Museum, next door to the venue.

For visitors who are keen to volunteer, or already do so, there will be the opportunity to network with peers, develop personal skills and turn a passion for change into action.

Entry to the three-day Volunteer Expo is completely free and tickets are available now.
