Insight's Volunteering Hub

The Insight app is not only for connecting with friends – it is also your hub for finding rewarding volunteering opportunities!

Innovate Trust’s Volunteering Hub is a feature on the Insight app developed by, and for, adults with learning disabilities.

The Volunteering Hub makes it easier than ever to find, participate, and get involved in meaningful volunteering opportunities.

Our Volunteering Hub project is possible thanks to WCVA’s Strategic Grant funding.

What is the Volunteering Hub?

Our mission is to make volunteering accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone.
