Inclusive volunteering
|
Updated Jan. 2026 – This tag page collects posts about inclusive volunteering, accessibility, and welcoming placements for adult volunteers. “Inclusive” can mean different things, so it’s best to confirm the practical details before you apply. |
|
Adults only (18+). Some posts may involve children or vulnerable people. Volunteers should not replace trained staff or provide personal care, therapy, or unsupervised one-to-one support. |
We use inclusive volunteering to describe placements that make an effort to welcome people who are often excluded from volunteering, for example because of disability, health needs, language barriers, neurodiversity, identity, or limited access to resources. Inclusion is not a slogan. It is about clear communication, realistic tasks, and an environment that is safe and respectful.
How to use this page
Open a post that interests you and check the publication date. Some listings may be outdated. If it still looks active, use the contact details section in the post (not the comments) to contact the host via their website, application form, or email.
Questions worth asking
Ask about the exact tasks, pace of work, schedule flexibility, access to bedrooms and bathrooms, steps and door widths, transport, quiet spaces, and what support is available on site. If the placement involves children or vulnerable people, ask how supervision works and what training or boundaries are in place.
