SSAFA, the armed forces charity that supports armed forces personnel, their families and veterans is currently setting up an exciting Serving Community Team in Kinloss and would welcome volunteers from the area. You do not need a military background to volunteer; people from outside the serving community but who live in the local area are very welcomed to get in touch. Volunteers with the Kinloss Serving Community Team help look after all those working and living on and near Kinloss Barracks and they do this in a number of ways. As a Serving Community volunteer, you will be helping the serving community access financial, practical, and emotional support when they need it. Depending on the role you choose, you might be fundraising, managing finances, or helping us with marketing. SSAFA is seeking to refresh their offering to the serving community, to ensure they give tailored support to each site, that is in tune with the needs of today's serving personnel. Currently, there are administration roles, (supporting meeting and events) roles to help distribute funding grants to those in need, welcoming, supporting and coordinating other volunteers, and volunteers needed to help plan and organise networking and community events. Everyone who offers their time to volunteer with SSAFA makes a huge difference. The roles are varied, flexible and very rewarding, giving back to those who are serving. It makes a real difference to the people living in the Kinloss area and all help is greatly appreciated. For more details please visit https://www.ssafa.org.uk/volunteer/serving-community-teams and send us a message.

Aberdeen in Recovery (AiR) was granted Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) charitable status in March this year. We are now looking to find talented, passionate and skilled people to fill some vacant seats on our Board of Trustees to help us grow and develop our innovative and solution focused new charity. This is a unique opportunity to help lay the foundations to ensure AiR has a long-term future as a charity with solid processes in place to ensure it meets its mission of: “To be a bridge from ‘dependence’ to ‘independence’ for the individual seeking to recover from problematic substance use and addictive behaviours”. This is such an exciting and invigorating prospect for individuals to get involved and be participant in the tsunami of change which is now gaining momentum and being driven by “Experts by Experience” and the vibrant Lived Experienced Communities which are blossoming, not only locally but are now established as a national phenomena. Since its conception, AiR and its members have worked tirelessly to establish and build collaborative relationships with professional services and third sector support agencies. We have consistently driven the message that individuals who have personal lived/living experience of active substance use, including Family members who have been affected by the addictive behaviours of a loved one, and the Recovery Communities they represent have something valid, essential and extremely beneficial to bring to described Recovery Orientated Systems of Care (ROSC). We can provide existing services and clinical structural systems with resources, skills and capabilities that they, no matter how much effort, time and money they invest, will never be able to offer or provide. So, it gives the greatest of pleasure to see this is now recognised on the highest levels that “Recoverists” can productively contribute to the design, development and delivery of truly person-centred ROSC. This being evidenced by the vision, philosophy and content of the Scottish Governments “Rights, Respect and Recovery” Drug and Alcohol Strategy. We also believe it is reaffirmed by the recent success in being granted funding from the Government’s National Development Fund, with our principle partner Alcohol and Drugs Action (ADA), for our ‘Recovery Peer Pathway’ joint two-year project. This collaborative venture will build on three years of pilot work to further establish and build proactive and productive Developmental Pathways within ADA and their Volunteer network while in synergy with AiR membership for individuals who desire to initiate change in their behaviours and outlook as they progress on their recovery journeys within, and imperatively out-with, statutory and formal support services. We believe that the blue sky thinking behind this project categorically and emphatically fits with the expectations, outcomes and concepts of the above Government policy. So, if you have lived experience, or a stakeholder interest, and a passion for recovery and are willing to give of yourself that another may learn, you will not find a better opportunity to indulge your appetite than from within Aberdeen in Recovery. For more information please contact Dermot Craig, Recovery Community Development Manager at E Mail: dermot@aberdeeninrecovery.org or tel.: 01224 638342 / Mobile: 07751 213108.

We are a young democratically run organisation that needs to grow. At the moment we are a small group working at projects that reduce waste and we intend that Aberdeen and Shire become zero waste areas. That is, that everything we use becomes part of a circular economy and is not discarded needlessly to be tipped or burned. Currently, our main projects are :- *Go Green Café *Trash to Treasure *Men's Sheds *Planting Fruit Trees for Community Benefit These worthy projects are undertaken alongside family and work commitments but we need to do more if we are to make inroads to the waste we generate each day. That presents exciting opportunities for volunteers. Our next step then, is for more 'Trustees' to join with us to take on an officer of the board role, or to become an ordinary member and help steer the way forward to a successful reduction of waste to zero. If you’re/for more information then please do get in touch with Brian Allan at email brianaltenscc2@gmail.com or tel.: 07751275757.

‘Volunteering never goes out of style!’ This is an opportunity to undertake a satisfying and rewarding role. As part of our team of volunteers, you will raise the profile of the charity shop, increase the sale of goods and increase donations through social media. Social media volunteers will remind people just how good it can feel to have a tidy up at home and free up space, and encourage more people to donate things they no longer need.

However, by making the most of social media to promote stock to local people, you could increase the chances of that special something being snapped up sooner. By sharing photos of donated items along with a short message explaining where the money goes, you can show that whether it’s a board game or a pair of shoes, every donation helps. • Promote the Benbecula Thrift shop and increase sales of donated and new goods using the shops own Facebook page • Help us to set up Instagram and social media • Prepare content to share on other social media platforms • To assist in the sale of more valuable items through online platforms, for example eBay/Facebook/Amazon (although this is not a necessary requirement) • To assist in ensuring that health and safety processes are followed, and general maintenance issues are reported • To promote public understanding of the work of Benbecula Thrift Shop and the importance of raising funds through the shop • Take photos of stock for social media • Carry out other tasks as required

They are flexible and try to take account of what participants want to do. For those who want to play more competitive games, sessions can be adjusted to make this possible.
