Camphill Wellbeing Trust
Postcode: AB15 9QD
Support our exciting community Compass Project and help to transform the naturally-beautiful and historic 4.1 acre former Waldorf School site into a centre demonstrating practical solutions for healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
The project has something for everyone including opportunities to find out and participate in:
• sustainable building practices with conservation of the listed main building & sensitive repurposing of the others – dry-stone wall restoration, stripping back damaged plasterboard ready for refurbishment, sorting building materials and items for re-purposing and upcycling.
• an integrated, creative health & education approach, supported by the natural & built environment – we offer opportunities for volunteers from secondary schools to participate in appropriate outdoor projects onsite.
• sustainable social enterprise projects serving the local community and involving those with learning disabilities – experience circular economy in practice as we start to outlet local organic produce and plants onsite on a donation basis.
• organic/biodynamic land use with nutritious food production, no-dig demonstration allotments, composting, beehives, wild flower meadow and woodland – keen gardeners are always welcome to come and help create a no-dig system from scratch so you never have to weed again! Experienced chain-saw operators can help manage our woodland.
• repair, reuse & recycle practices minimising waste and encouraging sustainability – furniture and other items for upcycling.
-Compass needs you!
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are willing to lend a hand with whatever needs doing. We hold regular Saturday volunteer days where you can enjoy meeting like-minded people working together to make a visible difference to our site after each session. Volunteers tell us it is very satisfying to see how much of a difference their work can make.
Volunteers with specialised skills such as joiners, plumbers and DIY-enthusiasts will be especially welcome as we enter the next phase of our project to strip out the existing buildings ready for refurbishment.
‘Being out in the fresh air with others, seeing changes happening and feeling like I was part of a bigger process. I have also enjoyed meeting others who are enthused about the project. Sense of community, healthy activities. Very friendly co-ordinator and other helpers so feeling of welcome is lovely. I also value the fact that I only manage a couple of hours but this is still appreciated and I don't feel guilty when I feel like my body needs to stop! Beautiful grounds to work in’. – Compass volunteer
‘Such a great sense of satisfaction and wellbeing experienced at the end of 2 hours of hard physical work. This has sparked off an interest in gardening and growing plants at home. And also enjoyed being part of a community and meeting new people each time I come along who are equally enthusiastic about this project’. – Compass volunteer
Everyone is welcome at Compass and we look forward to working with you onsite! You can find out more on our website: www.camphillwellbeing.org.uk/compass or email: compass@cwt.scot for further details on volunteering with this exciting project.

Macmillan Move More Walk Leader
Leisure and Culture Dundee
Postcode: DD1 1DD
Walk leaders can make a significant difference to people’s lives as when you’re living with or after cancer, physical activity can help you make a positive change to your life.

It is for this reason that we are delivering the Move More project. The aim of the project is to support anyone affected by cancer to become more active by walking.
Health walkers can enjoy a whole range of benefits including increased strength, improved mood and increased social interactions with local people and the local area. Walking requires no special equipment or expense and is the ideal way for most people to become more active.

Volunteer Handyperson
Moray HandyPerson Services
Postcode: IV30 1RQ
Moray Handyperson Services are looking for new DIY-ers to join their team, especially in the Elgin area. Volunteers complete small/minor maintenance jobs that some older or vulnerable people cannot do by themselves in their own homes. Each year, this local charity helps hundreds of people people stay safe and independent in their own home. Small jobs can range from changing a light bulb, to fitting curtain rails, from assembling flat-packs, to even doing a bit of decluttering.
These jobs usually take less than an hour and you can choose to do a job at a time that is convenient for you. Volunteers are usually matched to a job in their local area, and if you can't help out, that isn't a problem either, as you can say no or yes to a job. Now that's flexible volunteering! Contact them if you think you could part of their volunteer team.
How It Works:
The MHPS staff receive requests from clients and collect relevant details, usually over the phone. They then find a volunteer who has the skills, is nearby and is available. If the volunteer accepts the job, MHPS send the volunteer all the details they need to do the job. Most jobs require the volunteer to visit the client in the client’s own home.
The volunteer first makes a brief assessment to ensure the job is as described and it is safe for them to proceed. Once the job has been carried out, there is usually opportunity to chat with the client to determine if they are well, need support in any other areas. Completion paperwork (easy and quick to do) is returned to the MHPS office.

Help us take on Scotland’s single biggest killer! Help us build up the pace in Scotland by sharing our badges and displaying posters across your local area; playing your part in the future of Scottish medical research and taking on heart disease.
Our Heart of Scotland Appeal is a fundraising campaign to raise and spend money in Scotland on vital medical research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease. 41 people die every day in Scotland from cardiovascular disease and we know that the death rate from coronary heart disease is almost 50% higher than for the South East of England. This isn’t fair and we want to change this.
We will provide posters for you to display in your local shops, community centres, libraries, supermarkets, pharmacies and doctors surgeries to help us reach as many people as possible.
The Heart of Scotland Appeal is backed by internationally acclaimed Scottish fashion designer, Christopher Kane. Christopher has designed four unique badges featuring the words Love, Care, Brave and Life. We can send you a box of badges to sell to friends, family and colleagues for donations, as well as asking local shops if they will have a box of badges on their counter (that we can then send out to them directly).
Join our network of volunteer Pace Makers and help us get everyone wearing a Heart of Scotland badge. Together we can keep those we love around for longer.

FRESH Community Wellness is an expanding local group. Many of our volunteers also volunteer for other services and groups. If you have a couple of hours free to spare each week and are enthusiastic about the idea of motivating others to make “safe choices” in their lifestyles, we would love to hear from you.

FRESH Community Wellness offers a free befriending/ active wellness service for people of all ages in the Aberdeen area. We use motivational interviewing (MI) techniques to help make positive changes to lifestyle.
By lending an ear and offering gentle encouragement, we hope to help anyone in the community, vulnerable, in need, lonely to meet the goals and make the changes that matter to them. With confidence and without judgement.
FRESH meets up regularly at outdoor locations throughout the city, 6 days a week. As well as being Covid safe, meeting outdoors gives everyone the space for some fresh air and light exercise. A great chance to meet some new people. Equally, if they are more introverted, a spacious outdoor setting means that plenty of room to split up into smaller groups, for a quieter chat.
At the meet-ups, we usually go for a relaxed walk in the area, whether that be the beach, a park, or alongside one of Aberdeen’s beautiful rivers. This is a great environment for a confidential chat if you feel like it. But if not, we also tend to focus on a particular activity at each session, such as litter picking, or on a particular discussion topic, such as cooking on a budget. We also offer signposting towards the “safe choices” offered by local services. And, we should mention, we always make sure that everyone who comes gets a decent snack and something hot to drink.
All of our volunteers are trained in the use of naloxone and basic emergency response. Some of our volunteers have had first-hand experience of alcohol or drug dependencies, as well as personal journeys of treatment and recovery. But regardless of our individual background, and regardless of yours, all of us will treat you without judgement, and with empathy, kindness, and respect.

By lending an ear and offering gentle encouragement, we hope to help anyone in the community, vulnerable, in need, lonely to meet the goals and make the changes that matter to them. With confidence and without judgement.
FRESH meets up regularly at outdoor locations throughout the city, 6 days a week. As well as being Covid safe, meeting outdoors gives everyone the space for some fresh air and light exercise. A great chance to meet some new people. Equally, if they are more introverted, a spacious outdoor setting means that plenty of room to split up into smaller groups, for a quieter chat.
At the meet-ups, we usually go for a relaxed walk in the area, whether that be the beach, a park, or alongside one of Aberdeen’s beautiful rivers. This is a great environment for a confidential chat if you feel like it. But if not, we also tend to focus on a particular activity at each session, such as litter picking, or on a particular discussion topic, such as cooking on a budget. We also offer signposting towards the “safe choices” offered by local services. And, we should mention, we always make sure that everyone who comes gets a decent snack and something hot to drink.
All of our volunteers are trained in the use of naloxone and basic emergency response. Some of our volunteers have had first-hand experience of alcohol or drug dependencies, as well as personal journeys of treatment and recovery. But regardless of our individual background, and regardless of yours, all of us will treat you without judgement, and with empathy, kindness, and respect.
As one of our Home Based Wellness Assistants you can assist greatly with a number of aspects such as social media and promotional updates, befriending, mentoring or fundraising.

Lay Member of the Ethics Committee
University of Aberdeen (Research Ethics Committee)
Postcode: AB25 2ZD
One of the foundational purposes of the University of Aberdeen is ‘Service of Others’ and we aim to achieve this through excellence in research and teaching. We train people in conducting research that ultimately aims to transform lives. All research must be conducted in an ethical manner. To do that we have an ethics review committee which reviews research plans and need the input of members of the public to join this committee as well.
We are looking for non-expert lay members to contribute to our ethical review processes.

The current Covid restrictions have meant that for many the wait for treatment may be a year or more away.
Painkilling prescriptions are seldom more than a temporary relief. Support and exercise can however offer a better way to self-manage the daily on-going pain and fatigue.
In readiness for the eventual lifting of lockdown we are asking, can you spare an hour or two each month to help?
Please contact your local Development Officer, Dr. P. Neville, p.neville@versusarthritis.org or phone 07501 501114 for details.

Education Volunteers for PSPA
PSPA – Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Association
Postcode: AB11 5YU
PSPA is a national charity providing support and information to people living with PSP and CBD, while funding research into treatments and ultimately a cure. We rely entirely on voluntary donations. You can see more about this here at https://pspassociation.org.uk/
*Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a neurological condition caused by the premature loss of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain.
*Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) is a degenerative brain disease that affects people from the age of 40 onwards.
PSPA covers the United Kingdom and works very closely with other PSP organisations across the world working together supporting research and the provision of information and support into PSP and CBD.
Following funding from the Scottish Government, we can now increase our work in Scotland including increasing the volunteering opportunities here.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of PSPA - We value the skills, experience, commitment and enthusiasm that our volunteers bring – so we are recruiting in Scotland to enable us to reach out to more people affected by PSP and CBD. By working together, we can make a real difference to people’s lives.
PSP & CBD are rare and little known. Education Volunteers can improve this situation. Our aim is to make education and training available to as many health and social care professionals as possible, many of whom may not have come across PSP or CBD before. Our Education Volunteer role will help health and social care professionals to understand key information about the impact of living with PSP & CBD and thereby improve their practice. We also aim to have our volunteers raise awareness in local communities by them offering informative talks to interested groups.
Volunteers will need to be enthusiastic, enjoy speaking to groups and able to manage a group effectively. Ideally they will have an understanding of PSP & CBD, be passionate about raising awareness and have empathy with the aims of PSPA. Experience in public speaking and confidence in the use of PowerPoint will help in this role and those interested should be able to travel within their local area.
We will provide training and resources to enable our Education Volunteers plan and deliver free training sessions on PSP, CBD and the services offered by PSPA. We offer a comprehensive learning package that covers all aspects of the role.
The rewards of being an Education Volunteer with us include; the opportunity for self-development, the opportunity to meet new people and to be valued as a part of a team. There is also the unique reward of making a difference to people living with PSP & CBD and their families.
Anybody wishing to express an interest in these roles should contact tel.: 01327 356137 or Email: volunteering@pspassociation.org.uk or read more at https://pspassociation.org.uk/get-involved/volunteering/ways-to-volunteer/education-and-awareness-volunteer/
Volunteer Coordinator
Bo'ness Car 4U
Postcode: EH51 9LT
Boness Car 4U is a free volunteer patient transport service for anyone registered with a Bo'ness Medical Practice who has been diagnosed with cancer. Volunteer drivers convey these patients from their home to their place of treatment and home again. The Volunteer Coordinator is the first point of contact for BC4U from the Medical Practice referring the patient to us. Patient confidentiality is paramount in this role, we do not need to know how the patient is affected, nor the nature of the treatment being administered, all that effects us is that the patient has asked for transportation. Please note some more detailed information about the expectations of the role below:
Patients phone their own GP’s receptionists with their name and phone number when they have an appointment date. The receptionist will then contact the BC4U co-ordinator to pass on the patient’s contact details. It is intended that we will have 4 co-ordinators, each in possession of our laptop and mobile phone for an on-call period of 7 days.
The co-ordinator will then contact the patient to find out the following information:
• Place of treatment
• Dates / times and expected length of the appointment if known.
• Ask if the patient has received COVID-19 vaccinations.
• Establish if the patient requires assistance or a wheelchair at the hospital.
• Establish if the patient is exempt from wearing face coverings
• Are there any special circumstances whereby it is essential that the patient must be accompanied by a friend
• Arrange for a Privacy Document to be completed. As far as is possible arrange transfer of documents electronically.
• Advise the patient that they will be required to undertake a contactless forehead thermometer test when they are about to be uplifted, sit in the back seat of the car diagonally opposite the driver and that they must wear a face covering if it is safe for them to do so and that we can provide a face covering if required.
• Advise the patient that if they are displaying any of the recognised symptoms of COVID19 they will not be able to travel with Bo’ness Car 4U.
The co-ordinator then contacts a driver to ascertain if they are available for the given date(s), and gives the patient’s name, address, phone number and the date, time, place and expected length of the appointment if known.
The co-ordinator enters all this information onto our password-protected spreadsheet to ensure records of each journey, the patient's details, the destination, etc. and all other future dates/times to book up either the same driver, or another available driver. Training will be given in the use of our basic IT system. Previous experience of office IT would be advantageous.
Using the statistics of Meadowbank Car4U, Polmont, who have been running a similar project for the past 4 years, offering this service to a population twice the size of Bo'ness, we estimate processing approximately 30 persons in a year.

We require help with bag packing, collection tins, general organising and fundraising.
The individual should be friendly, approachable and willing to help. We only require up to 5 hours of volunteering per month but we can easily increase this if the candidate has availability to.

Volunteer Walk Leaders with Moray Health Walks

We are looking for welcoming and enthusiastic volunteer(s) to lead short health walks in Moray -- currently these gentle walks are based in Forres, Elgin, Cullen, Buckie, Lossie and Keith. It's sociable, relaxed, fun and flexible -- and there is great support for our volunteers.
Becoming a volunteer walk leader requires you to commit around an hour or so of your time weekly (but there is room for flexible dates!) and to sometimes complete a small amount of preparation & paper work for the walk.
Health walks encourage people who have not exercised for a while, find walking boring, or lack confidence to join a walking group because they think they will not be able to keep up. Walks are free, short, low intensity, safe and social and are usually followed by a cup of tea or coffee and a chat!
Over the next year we plan to build upon our network of gentle exercise activities across the Moray region. To help us achieve this we are looking for friendly and supportive volunteers who enjoy walking, meeting new folk sharing the wide ranging health and well- being benefits of gentle physical activity.
We would love it if you could help us set up indoor and outdoor Strength and Balance sessions as well as new Health Walks to boost our provision in the area, helping the people that need it to access these opportunities. Volunteer walk leaders receive on-going support from the Health Walk co-ordinator, too.

As well as the inclusion of lived experience.
FRESH Community Wellness is an expanding local group. Many of our volunteers also volunteer for other services and groups. If you have a couple of hours free to spare each week and are enthusiastic about the idea of motivating others to make “safe choices” in their lifestyles, we would love to hear from you.

Further details are also available via our websites and social media at www.freshcommunitywellness.com , https://twitter.com/FreshCWellness and https://www.facebook.com/freshcommunitywellness
FRESH Community Wellness offers a free befriending/ active wellness service for people of all ages in the Aberdeen area. We use motivational interviewing (MI) techniques to help make positive changes to lifestyle.
By lending an ear and offering gentle encouragement, we hope to help anyone in the community, vulnerable, in need, lonely to meet the goals and make the changes that matter to them. With confidence and without judgement.
FRESH meets up regularly at outdoor locations throughout the city, 6 days a week. As well as being Covid safe, meeting outdoors gives everyone the space for some fresh air and light exercise. A great chance to meet some new people. Equally, if they are more introverted, a spacious outdoor setting means that plenty of room to split up into smaller groups, for a quieter chat.
At the meet-ups, we usually go for a relaxed walk in the area, whether that be the beach, a park, or alongside one of Aberdeen’s beautiful rivers. This is a great environment for a confidential chat if you feel like it. But if not, we also tend to focus on a particular activity at each session, such as litter picking, or on a particular discussion topic, such as cooking on a budget. We also offer signposting towards the “safe choices” offered by local services. And, we should mention, we always make sure that everyone who comes gets a decent snack and something hot to drink.
All of our volunteers are trained in the use of naloxone and basic emergency response. Some of our volunteers have had first-hand experience of alcohol or drug dependencies, as well as personal journeys of treatment and recovery. But regardless of our individual background, and regardless of yours, all of us will treat you without judgement, and with empathy, kindness, and respect.

FRESH meets up regularly at outdoor locations throughout the city, 6 days a week. As well as being Covid safe, meeting outdoors gives everyone the space for some fresh air and light exercise. A great chance to meet some new people. Equally, if they are more introverted, a spacious outdoor setting means that plenty of room to split up into smaller groups, for a quieter chat.
At the meet-ups, we usually go for a relaxed walk in the area, whether that be the beach, a park, or alongside one of Aberdeen’s beautiful rivers. This is a great environment for a confidential chat if you feel like it. But if not, we also tend to focus on a particular activity at each session, such as litter picking, or on a particular discussion topic, such as cooking on a budget. We also offer signposting towards the “safe choices” offered by local services. And, we should mention, we always make sure that everyone who comes gets a decent snack and something hot to drink.
All of our volunteers are trained in the use of naloxone and basic emergency response. Some of our volunteers have had first-hand experience of alcohol or drug dependencies, as well as personal journeys of treatment and recovery. But regardless of our individual background, and regardless of yours, all of us will treat you without judgement, and with empathy, kindness, and respect.
A fantastic opportunity to help and all assistance is greatly appreciated. For more information please contact us at email: admin@freshcommunitywellness.com

Volunteering is a fantastic way to make a difference to the life of someone else. It can also be an incredible opportunity to enhance your own life and build new skills to help your personal and career development. Our drivers provide transport for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis to hospital appointments. Our clients do not need any physical help getting in and out of the vehicle. Children and young people with Cystic Fibrosis have to attend clinic appointments in hospitals to have their health monitored, usually every three months.
Traveling in public transport poses risks of infection and waiting for transport in our typical inclement weather is undesirable because of their chronic lung condition. Our drivers provide transport from home ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. This service makes a real difference by reducing some of the pressure on families at this time.

Volunteering Matters
Postcode: FK8 2AU
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) works with NHS Forth Valley to develop volunteering in local hospitals. We are looking for volunteers to fill some gaps in the rota at Stirling Care Village.
Volunteers are supporting NHS and GP practice staff by monitoring the doors and greeting people who are attending their GP practice, the Minor Injuries Unit or X-ray. Volunteers ask people at the door whether they have any Covid-19 symptoms, ask them to sanitise their hands and wear a face covering before directing them to the appropriate reception desk.
The Centre is open between 8.30a.m. and 9p.m. Volunteers are required to wear masks, and gloves are available if the volunteer prefers to use them. A Volunteer t-shirt is provided.
