#MYMconf25
Our campaign partners @scotrefcouncil are delving into equalities and human rights in volunteer engagement.
To deepen democracy in volunteering, they suggest interactive training, volunteer agreements, volunteer reviews and co-designing projects with volunteers.
#MYMconf25
Our partners @rzss are exploring how their Nature Connections programme has enabled people with support needs to engage with nature.
They flag accommodating a variety of access needs, making volunteers feel valued and empowering peer mentors as key to their success.
#MYMconf25
For one of our first workshop sessions, @HeritageFundSCO are discussing how to build an application to fund an inclusive volunteer programme.
Key costs associated with volunteering include transport, training, equipment, celebrating volunteers and more.
#MYMconf25
We're hearing from our friends at @UniofNewcastle about how to support older volunteers who may need to stop volunteering.
They suggest making reasonable adjustments, defining the limits of support and having regular and open conversations about health and safety.
#MYMconf25
Weโre at the @MakeYourMarkVol#MYMconf25 today in sunny Stirling!
Looking forward to connecting with others and sharing the experiences of disabled people.
