LIVE – Learning in Voluntary Experience
A key theme of the LIVE partnership is to share experiences among the partner organisations in recognising the worth
of the volunteering experience and to develop tools which acknowledge this informal and non-accredited learning.
The groups targeted by the project include asylum seekers, ethnic minorities, disabled people, homeless people, exoffenders,
single parents, drug/alcohol misusers and other people facing social exclusion. It is recognised that
volunteering can help develop the confidence and personal aspirations of individuals which often leads to further
learning, social inclusion and employment. The aim of the project is to widen participation in learning by involving
these disadvantaged groups in volunteering activities.
