We are a Board of people who run daytime and evening classes at Kaimhill Learning Centre. We have a FB page ( @HALLACommunity) where you can see some of our activities and tutored classes.

A volunteer should be passionate, enthusiastic and have a keen interest in community matters.

The aim of our small charity is to improve the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of those who feel isolated and also to offer support to those living with dementia, as well as their carers. We offer a Befriending Service for older people as well as dementia cafés in local communities. We are looking for someone to develop a new website and to review and improve our IT and email set-up. You will need IT skills and experience of website development as well as practical experience and knowledge. We are a team of three who have limited technical expertise so we need someone with the necessary skills to liaise and communicate with us in simple English!

We are looking for some enthusiastic volunteers to help out with our Friday evening youth group. The group runs from 6-9pm and is split into two parts; 6:00pm - 7:15pm is the younger youth group. 7:30pm - 9:00pm is the gaming group aimed at a slightly older audience. Volunteers are welcome to come to either or both parts or to drop-in for however long is possible for them (example, 6-8pm). It is something that is flexible, that can be adjusted if required. The group runs every Friday, however there may also be the odd Saturday activity (subject to funding). The hours for this would depend on the event. Experience with youth work, BSL (British Sign Language), and/or individuals with sensory needs is greatly appreciated, but not a requirement. Being friendly, patient, enthusiastic and willing to get stuck in, are the traits that are the most desired. For both groups, the volunteer would be asked to help set up and clean up, if required, and to involve themselves with the group's activities. Keeping an eye on proceedings to ensure everyone has full access and that they can have fun in a safe environment. The Centre is fully compliant with all Scottish government Covid-19 restrictions.

A particularly sought after component of the website would be that it can be updated by all members of the team.
