The project helps adults aged 18 and over who are in mental health rehabilitation in Päijät-Häme to take part in volunteer activities with individual support. Support is given in a small group, individually or through work tasks at other organisations. Participants can try different volunteer tasks and join in as much as their own resources allow.
The project aims to produce an operating model, an induction checklist and a supported volunteering process. It is run by Dila, a socially responsible enterprise founded from a diaconal tradition with over 150 years of history. Dila is a member of ARVO, the association of social enterprises. It is a non-profit operator: any surplus is reinvested in services and not distributed to individuals.
