Research in
inVOLve The inVOLve project primarily centred around
research into best practice for benefiting people with mental health
issues, those with physical disabilities and excluded young people, through
involvement in volunteering. Research into how volunteering can benefit
these three client groups was conducted as part of inVOLve, with a range of
documents made available on this website for volunteers,
volunteer-involving organisations, client referrers and other support
agencies. Good practice documentation, highlighted
case studies, and a toolkit for inVOLve beneficiaries has been made
available, so keep checking the downloads and news sections for the latest
updates and releases. The research aimed to discover if
volunteering is seen as a truly inclusive activity that improves the
quality of life for individuals, families, communities, and society at
large. It also aimed to examine if volunteering
brings real benefits, especially in terms of employability, to those who
give their time, and to influence agencies to ensure that volunteering
becomes an inclusive and beneficial activity in the future. Back to Home
