To help the GoldStar Team develop the training and manual we have talked to a range of disability groups to draw out first hand experience of the barriers that disabled people face when trying to find volunteering opportunities. These groups have also highlighted actions that volunteer-involving organisations could take to remove the barriers and so develop good practice in recruitment and support strategies for disabled volunteers.

If you would like us to come and talk to you or for any more information then please contact Sharon on
