LCiL Volunteers
LCiL Volunteers are available to share their lived experience at conferences, events or training programmes, or to become members of working groups or committees, mainly across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
You can find out more about LCiL Volunteers (formerly Champions) by watching this short documentary:
Who are LCiL Volunteers?
They are disabled people, people with long-term conditions or carers who are involved with LCiL and its services in a variety of ways.
They are volunteers who are trained, equipped and supported to carry out their role – our team of Volunteers meet together regularly as a peer support group.
What do they do?
By sharing their lived experience of independent living, self-directed support, LCiL and its services, disability rights and the social model of disability, Volunteers can:
- raise awareness and understanding
- act as role models
- work as co-production partners.
They can help:
- test new ideas
- create new policies
- design new or
- improved services.
We will match you with the right Volunteer – they have a variety of experiences and will tailor their input to your needs.
We currently aren’t taking applications for LCiL Volunteers.
