Age Scotland collection can volunteers raise vital funds to support their work to tackle loneliness. Acting as the friendly face of Age Scotland, volunteers place collection cans around communities and collect cans once they’re full. No experience is necessary, as all training will be provided but you must be over 18 years old for this role. They are looking for someone with good organisational and numeracy skills, that enjoys meeting new people and is passionate about ending loneliness in Scotland. The volunteering commitment is flexible; you can do this whenever suits you.

Age Scotland is the national charity for older people. They work to improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50 so that they can love later life. Their Comradeship Circles service aims to reduce loneliness by offering older members of the ex-service community the opportunity to enjoy regular group camaraderie by telephone. A Comradeship Circle will host typically six people on the same day and time each week to chat about a range of topics and interests over the phone. Circle Hosts will join the group phone calls, which last up to an hour, helping to facilitate discussion, developing resources to enrich Circles in response to member's interests. You should also have an internet capable device with strong Wi-Fi connection. Time and commitment needed is flexible.
