Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) saves and improves lives across Scotland, delivering expert paramedic care at the scene of time-critical emergencies. With your help, we can continue fundraising and raising awareness to support our life-saving work. We are welcoming new collection can volunteers to help us manage our pre-existing locations and find new ones. We have hundreds of cans in cities, rural areas and the islands. Volunteers select the areas they'd like to support us in. While the role is flexible we ask that you can access a local bank. We offer initial training and ongoing support. Many bank branch locations have coin counters which make it simple, a few rural locations may require the cans counted. Good numeracy skills are needed in that case.
