Launch of Make Your Mark Inclusive Volunteering Toolkit: Version 2
Created: 12/02/2025Make Your Mark have launched version two of their Inclusive Volunteering Toolkit which is designed to support voluntary organisations in Scotland to make their volunteering programmes more inclusive.
The toolkit was informed by focus groups with marginalised people, surveys of voluntary organisations, and extensive desk-based research on inclusive volunteering. The toolkit is part of Scotland’s Volunteering Action Plan, and was created in partnership with the University of Strathclyde. It was funded by the Scottish Government and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Version one of the Make Your Mark Inclusive Volunteering Toolkit was launched in November 2023 at SCVO’s The Gathering. Since then, Make Your Mark has been trialling it across Scotland’s heritage and voluntary sectors, receiving feedback and learning about new resources and case studies to include.
The toolkit has been downloaded 4,300 times, and promoted at 16 events totalling 970 attendees. Feedback has been used to develop the new version of the Toolkit, which is now available to access.
