VSO and the Resource Alliance have teamed up to run a seminar and networking evening for fundraisers interested in working in the developing world.
The seminar, to be held on 24 July, will hear from fundraisers who have worked in developing countries and will look at the issues surrounding skills sharing.
VSO is currently looking for fundraisers to take up two-year placements to pass their skills on to not-for-profit organisations in the developing world.
