Many of us run training events or awareness raising events for staff to tell them more about the value of involvement. This could be a general 'introduction to involvement' event, or it could have a specific focus and be aimed at a specific group of staff - e.g. involvement in campaigning.
It can be helpful to have someone from outside your organisation to give a talk at events like this. Here's a list of SLG members who are willing to give talks about specific topics, and/or to talk about the value of involvement in general.
It's correct as at June 2025.
If an SLG member gives a talk to staff at your organisation and you're not already on this list, please consider passing the favour on - contact Bec so that she can add you.
