Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS) are a health charity supporting people and their families across Scotland with chest, heart and stroke conditions and to do this we need fundraising volunteers. The fundraising team raises over 1.5 million each year to support those with chest, heart and stroke conditions and we couldn’t achieve this without the help of our amazing fundraising volunteers.
This volunteer role will include:
Placing CHSS charity collection cans in shops, local businesses, and community venues.
Regularly revisiting the sites where you have placed the collecting can, emptying the can and supporting the site holder with any queries or concerns.
Counting, banking and recording the income from your collecting cans.
This is a very rewarding role that will help you:
-meet new people in your local community.
-improve your own health and wellbeing.
-learn and develop new skills.
-make a difference to the people that CHSS support.
-have fun!

We are Scotland’s health charity supporting people and their families across Scotland with chest, heart and stroke conditions. We want to make sure life living with a chest or heart condition or after a stroke is a life lived to the full. We will fight for better health for everyone and work to make sure there is help and support in every community. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition or a stroke, many people experience fear and isolation and struggle with the impact on their lives. Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland won’t stand for that. The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, over 1 million people – that’s one in five of the population – are living with the effects of serious chest and heart conditions and stroke. By 2021 we will double the number of people we support so that more people can live life to the full. We will do this by providing vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived Support services across Scotland. These services include our Advice Line, Stroke Nurse Service, Rehabilitation Support Service, Health Information, Health Defence, Education and E-learning, Financial Advice & Support and our Peer Support Groups.
