Fresh Community Wellness is a growing grassroots charity, registered Scottish Charity Number, SC051346. We operate out of Aberdeen city, working within a (S.I.M.D) high neighbourhood to create lasting change and build a legacy for the future. Predominantly in Seaton neighbourhoods and outdoors, we work with volunteers/residents, with a salutogenic approach to community wellness. To help with this we have great opportunities and need people to help out as volunteers for a range of roles including: *Food growing, gardeners, greenspace management, tidy ups volunteers. *Mentors, community engagement, events, entertainers (kids, adults, 55+). *Outdoors games & sports volunteers, building outdoor areas for residents (sheltered housing seating), health. *Artists/ Sculptors to begin on our Street Art & Design projects, and sculptures. *Admin, coordinators, team lead volunteers, advisors & support volunteers. *Drop-in café helpers, advisors, cooking assistants. All are fantastic opportunities to make a real difference for people and communities in Aberdeen. Excellent support and relevant training is provided to all volunteers.

Can you make a difference to a parent looking for support getting back to work? Could you be a mentor to a parent in West Lothian, helping to tackle Child Poverty? If yes, then we have the right opportunity for you! From January 2024, Volunteering Matters are recruiting Volunteer Mentors to help build resilience, confidence and aspirations, helping parents towards employment that works for them and their families.  While our staff team will be on hand to help you, and provide employability specific support to parents, your role as a mentor will be focused on developing additional skills and overcoming personal barriers to facilitate their entry into the job market. You might support a parent to build their confidence, social skills, identify future plans and aspirations, and help access work experience. No previous experience or knowledge is required, just a willingness to make a difference to families in your community. We especially welcome applications from mentors that have experience of being a parent, or who have experience of the mentioned barriers that parents may have on their employment journey. You will be ideally a flexible, patient and reliable individual with strong people skills. All ongoing training and support is available and any incurred volunteer expenses will be reimbursed. ` You will also have multiple opportunities to meet with the mentor project worker in 1:1 meetings and go through any questions or doubts you may have before you start.
