Lunchtime conversation: Volunteering and Human Rights

Join us for a conversation with Natalie Wade a respected disability rights lawyer and advocate, as we explore:

• What does the right to participation mean?
• How does volunteering connect to ensure these rights for everyone?
• How can leaders of volunteers be human right advocates and supporters through their work

This is a great opportunity to bring a new way of thinking to what volunteering can be.
