The Kincorth Community Centre Hub has great volunteer opportunities to assist with a range of activities at the Hub. Volunteer roles include supporting our busy community cafe, which has rapidly taken off, we currently open 9.30 -2.30, but our aim is to run a breakfast and supper club, as well as have the cafe open for activities in the evening. We have a diverse community that has a lot to offer e.g.: art classes/exercise group/dance class/music lessons and we are always open to new ideas-we are more or less a blank canvass. Excellent support and relevant guidance is provided to all volunteers. Level 2 Hygiene Certificate will be offered to those who want to volunteer/cook in the café. Any other training would be reviewed and provided if proved relevant. A fantastic, enjoyable opportunity to volunteer and help make a real difference for people and the community. All volunteers are greatly appreciated. For further information please contact Andrea Stewart at email gingerstewart@btinternet.com or telephone: 07985 600037.

Our successful #AndSheCycles campaign in Scotland aims to address what prevents teenage girls and young women from cycling. We are now looking to help reach an even wider audience. We worked with a creative agency, Heehaw, to develop a creative campaign that will help encourage more girls and young women to cycle. One of our main aims is to increase visibility of girls cycling. You can help with this by joining our team of creative people to spread the word and images on social media. Become an advocate for sustainable travel and help share the benefits of cycling to girls and young women in Scotland. You will help: - create and share social media posts regularly - keep an eye on posts and comment on these - try to improve our reach and widen our audience, particularly on Instagram - run specific campaigns or competitions - engage with other social media pages. - You can also join #AndSheCycles cycle rides across Scotland to engage with the project, if interested. We are open to your input on how you would like to help and what you specifically want to get out of it. We would love to hear your creative input. We can have a chat about it together. Our team will support you with creating social media content, provide direction on what to post and how to manage the account(s). You will also receive a specific social media training course and continued support for your further development. Our campaign is aimed specifically at young women and girls. We encourage people of all genders to join; role models and allies are also important to this campaign. Your volunteering can be formalised through the Saltire Award or count towards your Duke of Edinburgh award too. Does this sound like you? You… - are interested in encouraging more girls and young women to cycle in your area - like being creative and would enjoy putting content for social media together - may be looking to develop your creative, communication and social media skills for future employment - can carry out tasks independently and / or with a diverse group of people - share our values and mission to get more people cycling, walking and wheeling in your community. Then let us know your interest in helping with our creative media activities for the #AndSheCycles campaign. Time commitment: We are flexible on how much time you can help each week or month. Let us know what suits you. Volunteering for everyone with Sustrans: We are committed to representing the diverse communities we work with, and we welcome people from all backgrounds to volunteer with us. We commit to equity and an inclusive culture, so volunteering is for everyone.
