Linkliving - Falkirk Service
Charity registered in Scotland SC032418
Smart Move aims to recruit young volunteers between the ages of 16 and 25 to train as peer educators. The service aims to raise awareness and deliver housing advice and information to other young people in the area who may be thinking about getting their first tenancy or who may have already experienced homelessness. As a volunteer you should have had the experience of having their own tenancy and use that experience to give advice and information.
