As a Team Stirling Kili Challenge support member, you will act as a fundraiser in support of our Team, but you won't commit to the Kilimanjaro Challenge. The money you raise will be directed towards helping vulnerable communities in Kenya. Several communities lack access to clean water or suffer from restrictions in hygiene, which prevents many from going to school, work, and raising out of poverty. You can head to the DigDeep Africa site to learn more about the work they do! You will take part in organizing and volunteering at fundraising events, and maybe fundraise on your own. You'll also join us in chinwags, social events, and practice hikes if you will! The whole challenge will last until the end of August 2022, but you can choose the events and projects you want to do on your own time. If you're a student at the University of Stirling, you can also find us from the Union site!

Stirling Carers Centre offers a service to unpaid carers in the Stirling Council area, irrespective of the condition of the person they care for. The services offered include: information, support, advice, welfare benefit checks, advice on rights and entitlements, etc. We also have a Young Carers Project that supports young carers aged between 7 to 18 years old through group work day trips and residentials (overnight short breaks) and the provision of 1:1 personal support in the school environment. The young carers referred to our service join our age specific groups - these give the young carers a vital break from their caring role and enable them to mix with others like themselves. Our groups, day trips and residentials are supported by volunteers without whom we could not provide such valuable services. The Young Carers Voluntary Support Workers will help with our Young Carers Groups, day trips and residentials. This involves working with the Young Carers Officer and staff to support the planning and running of group activities and in the day trips and residentials many of which take place during the school holidays. This role is very rewarding and makes a real difference to the lives of these young people - it provides volunteers with an opportunity to build on or learn new skills and increase confidence in working with young people.

This is a very rewarding role providing much-needed support for people who are accessing our service. Based at one of our mobility aids spoke locations, the main element of the role is serving the public who require a wheelchair or other mobility aids equipment. This is the ideal role for someone who enjoys meeting people, can show compassion and empathy and who likes administrative duties with a customer service perspective. Typical tasks include: > Liaising with the hub to arrange stock/deliveries/collections. > Issuing and receiving wheelchairs (or other mobility aids equipment) using a computer based stock control system. > Demonstrating how to use and look after our wheelchairs (and other equipment) > Dealing with enquiries from people wanting to borrow a wheelchair (or other equipment) by telephone and face to face > Receiving payments / donations and issuing receipts > Contacting service users about overdue and upcoming return of equipment > Signposting to other Red Cross services/providers > Actively promoting the Retail Mobility Aids offer/website These are just some examples. You will work within a great team and be fully supported by the Volunteer Coordinator.

We currently have around 40 shops/ community hubs across Scotland. Our shops and hubs help us raise funds so we can provide our services to the people who need us.

The time, support and the work they do is vital to us and the people we help.
