ASPIRE – WHAT IS
IT AND WHO BENEFITS?
There are two phases to ASPIRE:
¨
Discovery (auditing skills, investigating roles,
researching, and forward thinking)
¨
Delivery (providing training, investing in people,
enabling entrepreneurship)
Phase 1 has been developed to stand alone with a clear set of
outcomes that have sufficient value in themselves.
The ASPIRE project (Phase 1) is supported by European Funds (ESF Objective 3) and the Voluntary
Issues Unit of the Scottish Executive.
The main delivery partner is the Volunteer Centre North
Lanarkshire.
For reasons of comparison and exploring compatibility, a small
number of other organisations (volunteer involving) are invited to benefit
from ASPIRE.
The main beneficiaries of ASPIRE are Volunteer Centre
managers, the staff and volunteers of VCs, and the boards and committees
involved in VC governance. As a result of organisational and individual
development that ASPIRE provides for, the indirect beneficiaries include VC
partners and stakeholders, volunteer involving organisations, and
ultimately – and most importantly – volunteers themselves.
