About inVOLve Through the inVOLve project, the Volunteer
Centre North Lanarkshire aimed to develop opportunities and carry out
research for the benefit of three groups of people who are traditionally
under-represented in, or even excluded from, volunteering. The three groups
were: ·
People who have experienced mental health issues ·
Those who have a physical disabilities ·
Young People who may be considered excluded. InVOLve also aimed to actively benefit
volunteer-involving organisations, client referrers, and other support
agencies involved with these three client groups. The main activities of inVOLve included
research, piloting, toolkit development, working with individual
beneficiaries, and dissemination of information. Standing for Inclusive Volunteering for
Vocational Equality, inVOLve formed part of the EQUAL Development
Partnership in Scotland, which aimed to increase employability for client
groups who require additional support.
Several positive outcomes have been achieved
from inVOLve, with the project running from 2005-2007. Back to Home
