Innovate Trust – Volunteering Hub Project Retrospective
Innovate Trust were originally awarded funding through the Volunteering Wales Strategic Grant for their Insight Investigators project. This project ensured a thorough peer led evaluation of Insight.
Insight is Innovate Trust’s free community app for adults with learning disabilities. Here, individuals can join activities, post updates and make friends. Insight aims to combat isolation through providing a person-centred app where individuals can be digitally included in a safe, supportive place.
Through this evaluation they found that individuals wanted to volunteer and to access suitable information about volunteering in a space where they already feel safe. Here, the idea of a Volunteering Hub was born.
Innovate Trust were awarded their second round of funding which supported us through the creation of the Volunteering Hub. Find out more here. The Volunteering Hub is a co-produced online space where adults with learning disabilities can view tailored resources, share ideas and stories with their peers and discover suitable opportunities which are listed in an accessible way.
