Come and help us record and monitor the plants and animals in the Seven Lochs Wetland Park. No experience necessary, just an enthusiasm for nature. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take part in a range of surveys. Over the winter we do bird surveys, in spring we do amphibian surveying and as the weather becomes warmer, we will move onto bee and butterfly surveys. We run training sessions before each survey starts so that you will know exactly what you are doing. All courses are suitable for complete beginners. If you are still not confident in carrying out a survey after receiving training, we can buddy you up with a more experienced volunteer. We would also love to hear from you if you have a particular area of expertise and would like to be a volunteer mentor. Please also let us know if there is a particular species you would like to survey. We will try our best to support you and arrange relevant training if needed.

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.

Running a successful Barnardo's store requires a great team of enthusiastic volunteers and you could be a part of it. Our retail assistants are trained to undertake a wide range of activities such as serving customers, taking receipt of stock donations from the public and merchandising stock to make our rails visually appealling and tidy. Volunteering with us in retail will provide a great opportunity to build upon your communication, team working and customer service skills. If you also have a particular skill or interest, our teams would be delighted to discuss how we could help you utilise your interests in store. Whatever your talents, please do share with us and pop into your local store to enquire about volunteering.

Come and help us deliver outdoor education sessions to schools and the wider community in the Seven Lochs Wetland Park. No experience necessary, just an enthusiasm for nature and working with people in the outdoors. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help deliver outdoor education sessions to school children in the Seven Lochs area. We work both in Primary and Secondary schools. Sessions can be for a morning or afternoon with an individual class or after school sessions for mixed age groups. We also run regular events for the general public at weekends such as family explorer walks, heritage events, arts and crafts events and natural history events, which we always would welcome some extra help at. A knowledge of outdoor education and working with children would be an advantage but not essential as any training needed can be provided. More important is a person who is friendly, enthusiastic and happy to learn on the job.

Volunteers may be involved in a range of activities, including making contact with victims/witnesses by 'phone, supporting witnesses attending court and visiting victims in their own homes to offer practical and emotional support in the aftermath of crime, for example, updating documents, making insurance claims and even providing advice on staying safe at home and in the community. The volunteer will try to help in ways that fits the needs of the client and can meet in the office or at the home of the person.

Could you cook one extra portion of dinner for an elderly neighbour? As a Volunteer Cook you will be paired with an elderly person (Diner) in your community to share a meal with them once a week. The role is flexible and requires you to cook an extra portion of what you are cooking that night and share it with your Diner once a week. Meal Makers is a local neighbourhood food-sharing project that connects people who love cooking ('Cooks') and are happy to share an extra portion of home cooked food with an older neighbour ('Diner') who could really appreciate a freshly prepared meal and a friendly chat. Over 10,000 meals have been shared through Meal Makers but we need your help! We have a high interest from Diners in this area but we don't have enough volunteers to meet the demand. If you could do something great with an extra plate of your home cooking we would love to hear from you. It only takes two minutes to sign up online!
