Thursday 3 September 2026 | 10am to 12.30pm | Stirling
Tickets: Free
The next meeting of the Scotland Peer Support Networking Group will partner with Volunteero’s ‘Cake, Coffee, Connect – Stirling’ event for volunteer managers from across Scotland.
The Volunteero event will run from 10am to 12pm, followed by the AVM Peer Support Scotland Group meeting which will run from 12pm to 12.30pm.
Everyone is welcome to attend both parts of the meeting, but booking at both is essential as places are limited by venue capacity.
*Please note, this is a change to the original Peer Support Meeting that was scheduled to take place at the Beaverbank Business Park in Edinburgh*
About AVM’s regional Peer Support Networking Groups
Our Peer Support Networking Groups aim to bring people together to develop, connect and empower one another as well as further the volunteer management profession.
They are managed by a regional Peer Support Group Lead, and free of charge for anyone working in volunteer management.
We are slowly expanding face-to-face networking opportunities across the four nations, although everyone is welcome to attend any meeting, regardless of where they are based.

Booking
You will need to book your place separately for each event so that the organisers for each one know how many people to expect:
Book your place for Volunteero’s ‘Cake, Coffee, Connect – Stirling’ event at 10am to 12pm via Volunteero’s event booking form.
Book your place for the AVM Peer Support Networking Meeting at 12pm to 12.30pm via our online booking form.
What are your payment and cancellation terms?
Payment must be made by the date of the event.
If you require an invoice, please ensure you book your place a minimum of two weeks before the start date of the event. After that we will only accept payment by credit card or PayPal.
Want to pay by credit card but can’t pay now? No problem! You can pay against an invoice by credit card (or PayPal): we will send you a link to do so.
As you follow the online booking process – select the payment option at checkout “Request invoice”. If you need us to add a payment reference or purchase order number to the invoice – just add it in the “Additional information” section when confirming your billing details at checkout.
You’ll receive your invoice by email once we have received your booking. You can pay for your ticket by BACS or online with a credit or debit card. Please note we no longer accept payment by cheque.
We know things happen and that sometimes you can’t come to an event. If you are unable to come, you may be able to pass your ticket on to a colleague, but if they are not an AVM member they will need to join AVM. If they don’t, they will be charged at the non-member rate.
If you have to cancel or want to arrange a swap, please let us know in writing.
- Cancellations received more than 20 days before the start of the event, regardless of date booked, will incur a 25% cancellation charge, whether the place has been paid for or not,
- Cancellations received 19–0 days before the start of the event, regardless of date booked, will incur a 100% cancellation charge, whether the place has been paid for or not.
AVM will not accept liability for people unable to attend due to circumstances outside our control, such as travel disruption, work commitments, poor internet connection, illness, or other personal commitments.
Where circumstances force AVM to cancel an event, the liability of AVM shall be limited to a refund of any fees paid for tickets to that particular event. AVM is not liable for any consequential loss, such as travel costs you may incur.
What are your accessibility arrangements?
AVM is committed to providing access to our events for everyone. We aim to hold all our events at venues that are wheelchair accessible, and make closed captions available at online events. Please note that we do not allow the use of AI Notetakers at any online events, but we can provide a transcript from the event if it is requested in advance. If you have specific requirements to ensure you can fully take part in an event, please let us know when you book, or as soon as you can.
If you require a personal assistant, carer or BSL interpreter to attend the event with you, they are very welcome, and their place will be free. Please email hello@volunteermanagers.org.uk to arrange this. If you require us to source a BSL interpreter for you, please let us know at time of booking, or at least one month in advance.
AVM tries to ensure all dietary requirements are provided for, and commits to providing a menu that includes vegetarian and vegan options. Please let us know if you have specific dietary needs at the time of booking, or as soon as possible.
