'Can do volunteering' is a guide for volunteer managers on how to
involve young disabled people as volunteers. This guide is produced
by the UK’s two largest disability charities, Leonard
Cheshire and Scope, in co-production with young disabled people and with funding
from the Russell Commission.
'Can do volunteering' is aimed at organisations
that involve volunteers and is useful for:
Volunteer managers
Fundraisers
Funding organisations
This guide focuses on how to involve young disabled
people (aged 16–25) in volunteering programmes. It is recognised
that involving young disabled people as volunteers is part of a wider
issue of inclusive volunteering and where possible, links have been
highlighted.
The
guide is available as a printed booklet, on a CD or in alternative
formats free of charge from Scope's Publications Office
