MCR Pathways has been partnering with schools since 2007 so we know just how amazing the young people of Scotland are. However, sometimes due to situations out of their control, young people face challenges that make it more difficult for them to succeed. That’s why providing the simple support of a mentor is so important and has been proven to make a life-changing difference. This is where you can help... MCR recruits and trains volunteer mentors who are matched with a young person that shares similar interests, hobbies or career aspirations. Mentors meet with their young person at their school for just one hour per week and the difference this makes is transformational. The mentoring relationship is unique as young people establish a friendship with someone who’s there, just for them and is not a teacher, parent, guardian or counsellor. The impact on their life is huge. Recent ScotCen research shows 81.6% of mentored care-experienced pupils left school for college, university or a job, compared with 56.3% of those young people not being mentored. We are hoping to help even more young people in the area reach their potential and are looking for over 150 mentors from Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire In Aberdeen St Machar Academy has been part of the programme since August 2018 and, in 2020 was joined by Northfield, Hazlehead, Dyce, Harlaw and Lochside Academies. Aberdeenshire schools participating in the programme are Banff, Fraserburgh, Inverurie, Peterhead and The Gordons Schools Huntly The only qualification you need to be a mentor is the desire to help. All young people are different and have different needs, so it’s important that our mentors come from all walks of life. Volunteer mentors are asked to commit just one hour a week for a minimum of one year and will be fully trained and PVG checked before being matched with a young person from an Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire school. The building of the relationship with a young person is facilitated by our fantastic MCR Pathways Coordinators who are based in each school and work with our young people on a daily basis. We’re asking you to #BeTheBridge between a young person’s talent and life possibilities. For only one hour per week, you can change a life. This year, why not do something to make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

Volunteering is coordinated by a designated board member, but volunteers work in the gardens under the direction of the gardener and/or the designated Board member on day-to-day gardening or manual labour tasks. In 2019, garden volunteers contributed almost 2000 hours, which is nearly equivalent to a full-time employee. As the gardens and woodlands are developed, it is anticipated that even more volunteer time will be required to maintain and develop the Gardens. To become one of our volunteers please email info@elloncastlegardens.net to register your interest or complete the VOLUNTEER FORM on the website.

The volunteers will help set up and coach the club's new U6's teams. We form these teams every August with players who have just started primary one. Volunteer coaches will help plan and coach the weekly training sessions until parent volunteers have passed the relevant PVG checks and coaching qualifications to enable them to take over the running of the team. This normally takes between 4 to 6 months. The volunteers will then be able to "take a break" until the new age group is started up again the following August. Volunteers will be enrolled in the Scottish FA's coach education program (the club will reimburse course fees) and they will have support from existing club coaches to help them with the new teams

We are always looking for more volunteers to help at The Sand Bothy community building. Activities are restricted at the moment due to Covid regulations. We are presently looking for help with fundraising and serving refreshments in our take-away kiosk.

Volunteer Befrienders are ‘matched’ with an older person who is living independently in their own home but who is experiencing social isolation and loneliness. This may be due to bereavement, ill-health, increasing frailty or loosing contacts within their community. Volunteers will be matched with an older person close to where they live. By being a regular and reliable visitor to the older person the volunteer helps to increase confidence on staying at home and improves someone’s quality of life. A weekly or fortnightly visit of around an hour may be home visit to chat over a cuppa, do crosswords or other games, or an outing to a nearby café, shops or local beauty spot. The activities within the befriending visit are based on the needs and wishes of the older person.

Guiding offers many opportunities and challenges. As a leader in guiding you will help girls and young women develop their confidence and self-esteem. Being part of a team allows you to develop your leadership skills and take a responsible role in the community. You will gain skills that can help you at work and in other areas of your life, suich as planning, administration and communication. Most leaders make frieds and have fun with other members of guiding. Guiding challenges you with new adventures and experiences and helps you develop the skills to handle and enjoy them. Guiding is a chance for girls and young women to learn new skills, go to camp, make friends, give service and have fun. Guiding offers these opportunities in a caring, supportive atmosphere where girls and young women are encouraged to try activities in a safe environment.

Volunteering Matters, the UK’s largest volunteering charity, believe that everyone in the UK should have the opportunity to thrive. We bring people together to overcome some of society’s most complex issues through the power of volunteering. Our Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages those aged 50+ to volunteer and be active in their communities. RSVP projects can take many forms, from school support, to driving schemes, all having an incredible impact both on the wider community, and our volunteers. In Aberdeen, we are looking for a passionate, friendly individual to re-establish RSVP knitting groups in the Aberdeen area as a Group Volunteer Organiser. As our RSVP Knitting Group Volunteer Organiser, you will engage other adults aged 50+ in the local community who enjoy knitting, bring them together as knitting volunteers, but also providing a social forum for the knitters to chat and spark friendships. Activity will also happen in between, with knitters completing items at home too. In addition to setting up groups and arranging for them to come together (if they would like to), the Organiser will collect items created, and ensure they are donated to local organisations that can benefit from them. Previously, this has included clothes for the local neonatal unit, trauma teddies, and others. This will involve networking in the Aberdeen area to establish relationships with organisations and agree how donations will work. You don’t have to be an avid knitter yourself, this role is more to organise knitting activity, and be the point of contact for knitters and partners in the local area. However, if you would like to be involved in the knitting activity, that would be most welcome. *Tasks involved: - Engaging with keen knitters in the local area to form groups, and on-going contact with knitters - Promoting knitting opportunities/encouraging wider involvement via local press, social media etc. - Working with organisations to create partnerships for the knitting to be donated to - Ensuring quality control of items - Applying for small grants/funding/some fundraising activity would be beneficial - Gathering items from knitters and arranging collection/delivery - Ensuring social opportunities for knitters to come together (if they wish to) - Inputting to the wider RSVP network as and when appropriate *You will be: - Honest, reliable, and friendly volunteer aged 50+ - Regular commitment - An interest in networking/building relationships - Good communication, organisational, and people skills - Ability to volunteer independently, taking initiative to grow the groups, with minimum support - Able to lift/move bags of knitting donations and transport them – being a driver would be useful *We will provide: - A fun, enjoyable and worthwhile voluntary experience - Sense of achievement - Relevant training and support - All travel expenses - Relevant insurance for activities - Opportunity to engage with the wider RSVP and Volunteering Matters Network A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference for people and the community. For further details please contact Louise Orr, Delivery Leader at email: louise.orr@volunteeringmatters.org.uk or tel.: 07534 108 842.
