National campaign seeks volunteers

A NATIONAL drive focusing on the “feel-good factor” has been launched to encourage volunteers to work with people with an intellectual disability.

The initiative coincides with the publication of the findings of a major new survey, the first of its kind, on the state of volunteering in the sector.

It was carried out and published by the National Federation of Voluntary Bodies (NFVB), comprising agencies providing services to over 22,000 people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
