    Greater Dublin independent Living (GDIL) is seeking volunteers to participate in a pilot Independent Living Mentoring Service. The aim of the service is to link people with significant physical or sensory disabilities who are living independently with other people with disabilities who need help, advice and support. It is envisaged that the mentors will commit a certain number of hours each month and share, on a one to one basis, their knowledge, expertise and experience of independent living.

    The GDIL pilot Independent Living Mentoring Service aims to promote solidarity between people with disabilities. It hopes to foster this by having people who are willing to share their own experiences and difficulties with others who are experiencing them currently and support them in their decisions and choices. A specifically tailored training course will direct mentors and support and supervision will also be in place,

    If you are interested you should apply to: Independent Living Mentoring Service, Greater Dublin Independent Living, Macro Resource Centre, 1 Green Street, Dublin 7 for a confidential Application Form or email sineaddunne@dublincil.org. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to call 01 8728091 and ask to speak with Valerie, Sinead or Suzy.

    Closing date for the receipt of applications is 31st August 2010.
