This is a fantastic and fulfilling way to make a difference to the life of other people. Apart from the personal satisfaction of helping someone, it is also an opportunity to enhance your own life experience and build new skills. Our Support Workers provide social support in their local community for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis. A Support Worker is our first point of contact with clients in their area, responding to requests that are often for help to acquire home improvements, disability related benefits or just someone to talk to. Support workers can also be trained to provide advocacy if they wish to be more challenged, learn new skills or perhaps make good use of those they already have. The use of a car is essential in order to travel to a client's home. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life limiting condition that currently affects around 1000 people in Scotland. The Butterfly Trust aspires to improving the quality of life for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis by providing support, promoting people's rights and helping them to live independently. After expressing an interest in this role we'll get in touch with you for a discussion of the role in more detail. An application form has to be completed, followed by an interview. Volunteers then must attend an induction event and and we will complete membership of the PVG scheme on their behalf

The 70/30 Campaign is aiming to reduce child abuse and neglect by 70% by 2030. As a 70/30 Ambassador you will be empowering your local community to protect our children by spreading awareness and gaining support to prevent child abuse and neglect from happening in the first place.
