Community Engagement and Volunteering

The Community Engagement
and Volunteering programme
helps people with disabilities
take part in volunteering activities
and participate in the life
of their neighbourhood,
town or city.

The aim is for each person
to build relationships with others.
It also helps them
take part in activities they enjoy
and feel part of their community.

To achieve this,
the programme promotes participation
in community organisations
and in cultural,
sports and leisure activities.

The programme also promotes volunteering.
Volunteers provide support,
companionship and assistance.
This helps people with disabilities
take part in activities,
meet new people
and expand their social networks.
