About this event

At a time when global challenges are putting pressure on governments, businesses and non-profit organizations to do more with less, skills-based volunteer programs play a critical role in harnessing the talent of the private sector to help NGOs and communities resolve social, economic and environmental challenges. AVPN would like to invite you to a roundtable in Tokyo on 25 October 2013 to discuss the key issues that can unlock more human capital towards capacity-building of social purpose organisations (SPOs).

This roundtable will be led by Fiona Halton, Chair of Pilotlight UK. Panelists Patsian Low (NVPC) and Ikuma Saga (Service Grant) will also share their insights with the roundtable participants.

All participants to the roundtable are by invitation.  Please register your interest to participate via email to Chelsea Chen ([email protected]) if you would like to join us for the roundtable.

Date: 25 October 2013
Roundtable Fee: Free

About Pilotlight

Pilotlight was set up to address the needs of small charities and social enterprises who have the expertise to support their beneficiaries but do not have, and could not afford to buy, the time and skills to develop their own infrastructure. In a survey of small charities, Pilotlight found that only four per cent said they received effective professional help.  Pilotlight then surveyed leading business people and found various barriers, such as being time-poor, which prevented them from offering their professional help. Pilotlight then trialled several models of professional skills-giving and arrived at one that overcame those barriers. More info at: http://www.pilotlight.org.uk/
