Circle of Inclusion
Support for Volunteer Organisations
Volunteer organisations receive training and resources to create inclusive environments. This includes conducting accessibility audits and offering guidance on accommodating diverse abilities. By equipping organisations with the tools to be more inclusive, the project enhances the overall volunteer experience and ensures that all volunteers can participate fully.
The Benefits of recruiting volunteers with disability
Not only does creating a diverse and inclusive volunteering program contribute to social responsibility, but it also brings numerous benefits to your organisation. Some of these include:
Increased creativity and innovation: Individuals with disabilities often possess unique perspectives and problem-solving skills, bringing fresh ideas and approaches to your organisation.
Enhanced team dynamics: Having a diverse team fosters collaboration, communication, and understanding among volunteers, leading to a more positive work environment.
Improved reputation: By actively promoting inclusivity within your organisation, you are sending a message of acceptance and equality to the community, potentially attracting more supporters and volunteers.

Ensuring accessibility for all
We provide comprehensive systems review services, helping you identify and remove barriers that prevent full participation within your community. Our team will work closely with you to develop or review your existing Disability Access and Inclusion Plan, ensuring that it aligns with best practices and current performance standards.
Empowering through education and ongoing support
Education is key to promoting inclusivity. That's why we offer workshops, training sessions, and individual mentoring programs covering various topics related to disability and inclusion.
Including:
Disability awareness and inclusion training
Effective communication strategies for volunteers with diverse abilities
Identifying and responding to discrimination and harassment
Creating inclusive environments for volunteers with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments
Understanding accessibility regulations and compliance standards
Our goal is not only to provide education but also to empower individuals and organisations to actively promote diversity and inclusivity within their community.
Working towards a more inclusive future
We take a systematic approach, offering environmental scans and accessibility assessments, review of your onboarding processing and policies and procedures, and creation of tailored inclusion plans.
In addition, we are continuously seeking feedback and input from your volunteers to inform and improve your services, as we believe that collaboration is key to achieving true inclusivity.
