  • Happy to undertake any training if necessary

About the Organisation

Mid Ulster Volunteer Centre is based in Magherafelt within InVOLve House.  

InVOLve House is a Mid Ulster based charity dedicated to developing communities and encouraging social involvement.

Their mission is to promote education, training and personal development in order to help individuals enhance their social and personal skills, develop and participate in valued roles in their community and achieve a level of independence.

They want to provide opportunities for social interaction and social inclusion which support, enrich and empower the community. InVOLve aims to do this by collaborating with other organisations to develop programs that promote choice, build confidence, encourage participation and ultimately create a sense of belonging.

In response to the increasing demand for a neutral and inclusive community centre and due to the need for a central base of operations, InVOLve House was founded. 

Currently, InVOLve House is used for a number of purposes such as training, workshops and fairs for both private groups and public gatherings.
