Welcome to the User Involvement in Voluntary Organisations - Shared Learning Group
The User Involvement in Voluntary Organisations Shared Learning Group aims to encourage shared learning about service user and/or carer involvement between voluntary sector organisations working within the UK.
Everyone is welcome to use this website to access useful resources about user involvement by visiting the resource centre page.
Membership
Members exchange views and experiences in order to develop their practice and ultimately to benefit the service users and carers with whom our organisations work. We aim to offer our members peer support within a secure environment. There are two types of membership available:
Full membership is open to medium or large national voluntary organisations in the UK with an interest in health or social care. The nominated member (or their representative) is invited to 6 meetings per year, which are held in central London and last for around 3 hours. At meetings, members are able to raise issues of concern / interest to them. They also discuss topics which have been previously identified by members as a priority. The cost of full membership is currently £500.
Associate membership is available to smaller organisations (at national, regional or local level) that have an interest in service user / carer involvement. The cost of associate membership is currently £150 per year. Associate membership is only open to small organisations.
All members:
· Are able to access a password protected area of our website (www.user-involvement.org.uk) which has documents that members wish to share only with other members. They also have access to online discussion threads and contact details of other Shared Learning Group members.
· Have access to training events organised by the Shared Learning Group.
· Are asked to sign up to our terms of reference.
