Our Transform project provides young volunteers (15-24 years old) with fully supported and supervised group volunteering opportunities. One of these opportunities is our youth led community events project. We are looking for volunteers who would like to help plan, organise and host an event in our community garden in Dalkeith Country Park. This is an ongoing opportunity with event planning scheduled to begin in February for an Easter event, May for a summer event and October for a Christmas event. Please get in touch to discuss your availability. This is the perfect opportunity to see a project through from planning to delivery. You will have the opportunity to increase your knowledge of planning, organising and promoting events. You will join a small, weekly steering group to help organise the event. You will have the opportunity to learn about teamwork, planning, promoting events and volunteering with the public. Volunteers will host an Easter, Summer or Winter event in the community garden. This is a fully supported volunteering opportunity. You will have weekly contact with the youth coordinator, and you will be given the opportunity to review your progress and your role on a regular basis. We will provide a mid way progress review to see how you are getting on and so you can provide us with any feedback.

Equine Outreach are a Social Enterprise Company that allows disadvantaged people from Falkirk and the surrounding areas to interact with horses and people, improving their communication skills and confidence. This helps them to integrate further into society and also improve employment opportunities. We are currently looking for caring and compassionate volunteers to support our efforts by helping the individuals that visit us interact with our horses and related activities. This role involves spending time with the variety of people that visit us and walking them through the daily duties of a stable, such as animals husbandry (grooming, feeding, leading) and day-to-day tasks (mucking out, yard maintenance). Someone who is good with people and who loves animals and the outdoors would suit this role. We're a small and welcoming team, we take a flexible approach and our goal is that all our volunteers get something out of their time with us - whether it's being around people and animals that they enjoy, gaining experience of support work or training towards British Horse Society accreditations, for example.
