Various Boys Brigade Groups across West Lothian are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help lead games and sporty activities for their children and young people aged between 5 and 18 years old. The group meets on Thursday evenings during term-time, taking part in a wide range of activities including crafts, games, sports, cooking, life skills and community projects.

Our volunteers do amazing things – working with girls, sleepovers, camps, adventurous activities, adventures at home and abroad. And it’s not just about the girls – make new friends, share a skill, spend time laughing and playing. There are so many roles available within Girlguiding. Whether you are a new to our charity and choosing your first role or thinking about your progression as a volunteer - you'll find something to suit you. Use our role descriptions to plan what to do next or to show your team how they can develop their skills. Your journey through Girlguiding is up to you.

We are a national charity that works to remove barriers for deaf children and young people. Youth Support Volunteers, including Group Supporters, are an essential part of NDCS’s events for deaf children and young people. Volunteers assist with aspects such as: -Support deaf children and young people to be happy and healthy at events -Encourage and support deaf children and young people to realise their potential -Supervise deaf children and young people and keep them safe -Be a positive role model -Be responsible for yourself as part of a team -Most events are at weekends, with some events taking place in the week. The time commitment varies. We have some volunteers who help at 2-3 events each year and others who help at 1-2 events per month. We are particularly looking for volunteers who are available to help at week-long residential holidays in the summer. All help is appreciated! All volunteers will receive support and training. We reimburse out-of-pocket expenses. All help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated.

Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment, and have their first taste of responsibility. We give young people experiences they’ll never forget. The sort of adventure Scouting offers is the chance to experience something different and the opportunity to challenge yourself. When a Beaver Scout wakes up the morning after a sleepover, or Cub Scout has just got over her fear of heights by completing her first abseil - that’s adventure. Come join us in providing that adventure and sharing #SkillsForLife. Volunteering with our sections needn’t be a weekly commitment, if you’re not sure if it’s for you ask us about the four week challenge. We have three sections in the group for you to choose between, depending on just how much you want to “grow down” as a means to relax. Our Beavers (6-8 year olds) and Cubs (8-10½ year olds) meet on Tuesday Evening, whilst the Scouts (10½ – 14 year olds) meet on Fridays. You’ll be getting involved with delivering games and activities for our young people, whether that’s dishing out tails or getting them unstuck with something they’re making. Assistant Section Leaders will additionally take an active part in the planning of these activities and generally assist the section leader in running the section. You don’t need to travel to the other side of the world to make a difference.
