Description

This is to come along occasionally and help out with gardening and crafting tasks at our Allotment Group that meets every Tuesday (just off of Pitmedden Terrace, Garthdee between 10am-1pm).

We support people with a Learning Disability and or poor mental health to come outside and learn how to grow different food and plants this helps with healthy eating, cost of living and being outside and in a sociable group helps promote friendships and good mental health.

In the winter months we often hire a room in Inchgarth Community Centre and do various crafts.

Relevant guidance and excellent support is provided to all volunteers. You will be invited to come along to the group and meet the participants and see what we do. You can ask questions and see if our group is suitable for you. Full support is given for the people that attend so you would not need to support people on your own.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help and make a real, positive difference for people and the community. All assistance is greatly appreciated. For more information please contact Claire Foulser, Senior Support Worker at email: cfoulser@aberdeencity.gov.uk or telephone: 0795584682.

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.
