Current opportunities
Come along and help us create a 'Pop up Shop' for all that your pregnancy, baby and child needs on Friday8th /Saturday 9th September and 1st/2nd December at Portlethen Academy.
We take in preloved items on the Friday night, set up a massive one stop shop for the sale on Saturday morning and clear it all away again. We have 3 volunteer shifts available , 6pm-9.30pm on Friday, 9am-1pm and 1pm-4pm on the Saturday. We ask that you try to do at least two out of the three shifts but please get in touch with if you are able to help at all within those times. As well as a lovely 'pot luck lunch' and the feel good buzz of volunteering, volunteers do get advanced shopping on the Friday night or before the sale on the Saturday morning.
We are 100% run by volunteers, selling items on behalf of local parents.
Come help us provide parents with affordable, high quality preloved items and raise money to support local parents at the same time.
Babies are very welcome to attend with parents, but we do ask they are in slings during the sale as it is very busy.
We welcome anyone working on their Saltire awards

Open up in the Centre, put out toys, welcome parents and carers, make tea/coffee, offer support and include new people, clear up and tidy up at end of session. This always works well when there is a wee team of volunteers, it is a great way to support parents. You don't have to be a parent to volunteer, but if you do have wee ones it is all done with them there and around them.
