In my youth my Mother was working for an SA Govt facility, these outings require a lot of support and structure
including a support person for each disabled person (dependant upon levels of disability).
Back then !
Disadvantaged or disabled youth and adults.
As far as I know you will also require some training and to do courses to just qualify as a volunteer, police check etc,
sadly it is far more common now because of quality of carer, organisation, safety for adult volunteer and the dependants.
Insurance demands too.
Make some calls but dont be put off, there are a lot of these organisations that need help and WANT to get the kids out
to experience things.
In some ways it would be easier if you could organise a venue and get them to come to it with their own support,
but you would still need police checks and insurances.
You can also ask the organisations where you can apply for 'Grants' to enable the costs to be covered, local Councils are doing that.
I wish it was as easy as it used to be, for the kids too.
Once my kids are all in School, I am looking to volunteer in the Childrens Hospital a couple of time a week,
get the kids involved in Sciences and small DIY stuff, dressed in a FAT bright orange tutu, over a white labcoat.
At least that is the plan.
I even have a demo video already of the character. Think KENNY in a tutu. :8
I have seen enough in there to know they need a brain break even if they are stuck in a bed. :brokenh:
Clown Doctors are a great help already.
Nursing Home oldies need the same attentions, but on a more mature level sometimes, many Nursing Homes now
accept volunteer pet visits, I know someone that does just that, she also reads to the oldies, it comforts them.
You are doing a good thing BigWave :Y: :trophy:
