Aġenzija Sapport facilitates voluntary work experiences with persons with
disability. Volunteers can now join the Agency’s new service – Sharing Lives – to offer some of their
time to support persons with disability within the community.
Sharing Lives was launched in April 2017, to offer opportunities where
volunteers and persons with disabilities, especially for those who have little
or no support, to:
- share experiences
- create social interactions and
- befriend persons with disabilities
The befriending aspect of the service will help in initiating dialogue and
collaboration between persons with disability and mainstream society. It gives
the opportunity for persons with disability to take part in events and
activities and overcome social exclusion while developing meaningful
relationships.
Persons with disability benefiting from the Sharing Lives service are
adults, over 18 years, and are known service users of other Sapport services.
Volunteers may be individuals or entities that offer time and resources to
create social events and activities for persons with disabilities on a
one-to-one basis or group activities.
