Volunteering for People with Disabilities

With CSV’s support, hundreds of people with disabilities take an active role in their communities every year through volunteering.

In London, CSV’s Retired and Senior Volunteering Programme runs Active Volunteering by Disabled People offering a huge range of volunteering opportunities for people with disabilities. To find out more, call Karen Hamilton on 020 7643 1388 or email khamilton@csv.org.uk

In Norfolk and Essex, we offer supported volunteering opportunities to people with learning disabilities through CSV Vocal and the Essex Supported Volunteering Project.

Full-time volunteers from around the world volunteer alongside people with learning disabilities, helping them to help others and develop their own independence. Through supported volunteering, people with learning disabilities become the givers not the receivers of care.

To find out more about supporting young people with learning disabilities as a full-time volunteer, check out the full-time volunteering pages.
