Working with disabled
volunteers
Date: Wednesday 21st January
Time:10am - 4pm
Attend is a national membership organisation which aims to develop the role of volunteers in health and social care. They provide support including insurance, funding, networking and training for 750 member groups (on statutory and community sites) representing 31000 volunteers. They also work with national partners to increase the recognition and resources given to volunteering in health & social care.
This event provides the opportunity to build on thinking and initiatives achieved with previous ‘Attend - Working with Disabled Volunteers’ workshops, and create a forum where volunteering and disability can be progressed.
Attend’s workshop is for those working with or coordinating volunteers in hospitals, including line managers, supervisors, team leaders, chairmen, as well as managers and coordinators of volunteer groups seeking best practice and learnings from others’ practice. The comprehensive training session will help you identify how your organisation can engage and include disabled volunteers, covering:
- disabled volunteers in health
- defining ‘disability’ and ‘disablism’
- explore barriers to engaging with disabled volunteers, and strategies and approaches for successful engagement
- supporting resources, materials and practical tools for engaging with disabled volunteers
The guest speaker will be Becki Cullen - Inclusive Volunteer Coordinator, Scope and the facilitator-led discussions will include presentations, case studies, group and individual exercises/activities.
