The first in the 2012 series of #dwebinars was on volunteering.

This video shows the FREE one hour session on volunteering and disability.

There were unfortunately some technical glitches, however the solutions have been identified for next time.

The session discussed:

 The individual and social benefits of volunteering
 How to find the right placement for you
 How to use the experience as a platform onto employment

This was achieved with our 3 guest speakers -

Nic Clarke from Scope will present to you on general volunteering projects, Scope's work in this area and answer your questions

Richard Currie will share his personal experience of volunteering for the Citizens Advice Bureau and on a new pilot Social care project.

Sarah Levis, a disability blogger, joins us from Canada to discuss her experiences too. you can read one of her articles here disabilityhorizons.com/the-power-of-volunteering
