Can you help us make a difference? At Connecting Carers our aim is to ensure unpaid Carers in Highland are not caring alone. Would you like to help? We are looking for Volunteers to help us enhance the services we offer across Highland. Our support to unpaid Carers is well regarded, however, with ever increasing demands for our services we are looking to expand our team of Volunteers, we have many different roles, something to suit everyone.

Connecting Young Carers (CYC) are looking for fun and enthusiastic volunteers to assist them with their Inverness After School group in Balloch and their event programme throughout the year. This may be of interest to individuals looking for a one-off volunteering opportunity or a regular commitment depending on the volunteer’s availability. The Activities Volunteer will assist with the organisation and running of Connecting Young Carers (CYC) events as and when required including: • Provide assistance to CYC staff with the organisation and running of CYC events. • On the day support to help set up the event, organise registration, welcome young carers and answer any queries throughout the day. • Engage with young carers and their families attending the events, encourage participation in the event or activity and make them feel welcome. • Help promote the work of Connecting Young Carers. • To attend induction training in advance of the event. For anyone new to volunteering we would be happy for you to come along and meet the team and see what the group is all about. Hopefully you'll enjoy your first volunteering experience and want to join our team of volunteers.
