Crossroads is a registered charity which has been operating for 37 years in South Ayrshire (although also with a national footprint). We provide a highly needed service in offering a respite service for at home carers. The charity runs with a small office team supported by a team of Care Attendants and over seen by a Management Committee comprising of volunteers who each bring a different set of skills and expertise to aid the operation of the charity. Our next aim is to raise our profile in South Ayrshire and we would gladly welcome the support of volunteers who would like to share our aim and interest by supporting us, as a volunteer fundraiser. Ideally the volunteer would have a sales and marketing background, yet it is not mandatory as the sales pitch can be delivered by one of the committee members. The volunteer fundraiser would support by identifying donors, raising the group's profile, writing applications for funding opportunities, organising events, etc. The group meets on a Tuesday of every second month at 7pm in a meeting room at Biggart Hospital, Prestwick (where the office is located), yet most of the volunteering can easily be done remotely and perhaps meet with the team occasionally as required. Kindly fill in the contact us form on https://crossroads-sa.org.uk/contact.asp and we will get back to you at our earliest.

Moray School Bank are looking to expand our team of volunteers! As part of our new project, ‘It Takes a Village’ (ITAV) we aim to improve and build community connections across Moray. Alongside our school uniform referral programme and other existing services, we will be looking into ways of promoting recycling of school uniform and other clothing items to reduce waste and ease financial costs for all families. For us to be able to achieve our aims, It Takes A Volunteer! We have a host of roles and opportunities to suit all types of volunteers and there is the flexibility and options of booking 2-hour slots (an ideal taster session!), volunteering from your own home or come and join a community group! If you are enthusiastic and willing to learn new things, full training and support to develop new skills will be provided and if you already experienced, we would love to have your skills to share. Current roles include; Donation Processing volunteers, Winter Campaign volunteers, Events & Fundraising, Social Media volunteers, Youth Volunteer Team, Community Garden volunteers and Mini-Bus drivers. If you would like any further information on any of the roles or would like to book a session, this can be done via our website www.morayschoolbank.org or by emailing our Volunteer Coordinator, Moyra Younie moyra@morayschoolbank.org
