Would you and your team like the chance to give back to your local communities? If so, why not book on to one of the upcoming Re-Connect Days?
Get Re-Connected is North Ayrshire Council’s volunteering initiative for staff. This provides volunteering opportunities for us all to give back to our communities.
These events are available for managers to book, allowing teams to Re-Connect, perhaps due to remote working or to welcome a new member of the team.
