You can find out more about our mission and vision here, http://simonscotland.org/about-us/ Our Street Cycles base is Simon Community Scotland’s Warehouse (12-14 Reidvale Street, G31 1SZ); the majority of a shift will be conducted in urban areas around Glasgow and involve interactions with the Street Team (based at The Hub, 72 London Road, G1 5NP). Street Cycles Volunteers are an important part of our Street Team. They use our bikes to reach further than the city centre. They look out for places where people are sleeping rough – mapping Glasgow and surrounding areas. The bikes also carry sleeping bags, basic first aid provisions and other essentials to offer people in need. Street Cycles Volunteers visit B&Bs around the city where people are in temporary accommodation to deliver essentials such as kettle foods and toiletries. Street Cycles Volunteers can also visit and deliver items to Simon Community Scotland accommodation services around the city. We need confident (and fit!) volunteers for this important role. We provide Volunteer Induction training, and shadow shifts with both the Street Team and Street Cycles Team to prepare you for your role. All required equipment, including a bike, is supplied. Ongoing training is available for volunteers too. This is an active outdoor based role and will involve travelling considerable distances across the city by bike. Along with your Street Cycles partner you will engage with and offer support to vulnerable people.

ARE YOU ENTHUSIASTIC, POSITIVE, HAVE AN OUTGOING PERSONALITY, A FABULOUS IMAGINATION AND CAN SPARE TWO HOURS PER WEEK BRIGHTENING UP A CHILD'S STAY IN HOSPITAL? IF YES, THEN WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

You will be required to volunteer for two hours, one night per week between 6pm and 8pm Monday to Thursday and commit to a minimum one year's service.

Volunteers visit the wards and interact with the children by participating in arts and crafts, story- telling, playing games, competitions and taking requests for our Radio station. You must have an interest in playing with children of all ages and have an understanding of the benefits that constructive play can provide for a child and their siblings and have the ability to be a dependable team player. Volunteers need to be adaptable and sensitive to provide times of quiet play and times of more upbeat fun, with a wide range of age groups. All volunteers must be 18 years plus to join. Volunteers have a great deal of fun providing a valuable service to sick children and their families. The reward of seeing a quiet, withdrawn child return to a confident, happy child is immense and is something that our volunteers experience on a regular basis. Each volunteer brings their own unique strengths/imagination to children in hospital. All volunteers are trained to an exceptionally high standard and there is an opportunity after a probationary period to join the presenting team and co-host a show. Experience in working with children is preferred but not essential. Please note this post is subject to a full PVG check, occupational health clearance and suitable references being obtained.

You can find out more about our mission and vision here, http://simonscotland.org/about-us/. The role of a Streetreads Volunteer involves selecting appropriate books for our service users and taking them, usually by car, to different services. Volunteers then set up a Streetreads table and encourage people to come up and take a book. The books are a gift and therefore we want to tailor the books to the readers where possible. A volunteer role may also involve helping to collect, receive, sort and catalogue book donations. Some tasks require a certain amount of physical mobility (e.g. packing and lifting book boxes), whilst some are more sedentary (e.g. cataloguing books). Roles can therefore be tailored to individuals’ needs. We need people who care about our client group, who are enthusiastic and able to respond flexibly to a role that can sometimes be challenging, but bring great rewards and satisfaction. We value our volunteers and want to ensure they are equipped with the skills they need to fulfil their role. A full and comprehensive induction and training is provided for the role.

You can find out more about our mission and vision here, http://simonscotland.org/about-us/. We need help to receive, sort, store, record, package, distribute and plan every aspect of the donations received by Simon Community Scotland. Often the people we support have very little or nothing. Our warehouse is a central outlet where we receive, sort and co-ordinate the distribution of the kind donations from our supporters. Having volunteers working alongside staff allows us to maintain this unique service. The warehouse provides stock and replenishment for our Hub. The Hub is a place where people experiencing homelessness can come to access items of clothing and toiletries, the simple things most of us take for granted. When people first arrive at our supported accommodation services, we want them to feel safe and welcome. The staff and volunteers at the Warehouse help to construct welcome packs for the people we support. These packs contain basic essentials like toiletries, sanitary products, underwear and maybe even a pair of pyjamas. This small gesture has a huge impact on a person’s often difficult transition into a homeless service. The Warehouse will maintain an active range of supplies that are relevant to the needs, weather and requirements of the people we support. This service will be the main point for public donations throughout the year.

To be someone we can call upon to help us raise money in the community when a fundraising opportunity arises in your area. Do you believe in magic? We do, because with your help, support and a little belief, even the most vulnerable children can turn their lives around. You can really make a difference by becoming a Fundraising Team Volunteer for Barnardo's, and gain invaluable skills in the process. We don't want you to commit to a certain number of hours each week, but what we do want you to do is become one of a bank of volunteers that we can contact when fundraising opportunities are available in your area. The list is varied - one day you might be asked to act as a Barnardo's spokesperson and ambassador, perhaps by helping out at an information stand, or visiting a local community group. On another day you could be giving a short talk at a local school, or collecting and banking money and cheques. You could also be asked to assist us at our fundraising events, or promote our Big Toddle event. There's much more to fundraising than just rattling a bucket, but sometimes that's exactly what we do need, and you can help by being part of a bucket collection in a local store or at an event. It's entirely up to you. We want you to feel comfortable with whatever you choose to do, and whenever you choose to do it.
