Inclusion Team
For volunteers with extra support needs.
Neil is one of the volunteers on the Support and Advice
Team`s Buddying scheme. He works with BTCV doing practical conservation
work. This is just one of hundreds of opportunities throughout Edinburgh.
Volunteer Centre Edinburgh's Inclusion Team offers extra support for those that need it.
Whether you're unsure about what you would like to do, if you have been out of circulation for a while and lack confidence; or you have a disability or illness that means you'll need some extra support in your voluntary work, get in touch with the Inclusion Team.
We've been very successful in finding placements for a lot of people with different needs. We can help you find a placement, that suits you, and work with the organisation involved to ensure that you have a positive experience of volunteering.
The next page is about Maggi, who has used the service and found it useful, and about the project she worked in.
The Inclusion Team hold information sessions every Thursday afternoon between 2pm and 5pm. Why not come along to find out more and get the support you need to have a great volunteering experience.
