We are an organisation that support families with children on the autistic spectrum. We provide safe, inclusive environments that meet the sensory needs of our community and provide an opportunity for growth and learning. The playscheme events take place in 3 locations (Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden), all on Saturdays and host a range of activities for children and families to enjoy. We have big activities, crafting, sensory calming and stimulating areas and gaming (either Minecraft or Nintendo switch). The role of the volunteers is to listen to any queries or concerns parents have, offer support, and support the children in play. We ask volunteers to help us set up and pack away, and ensure whichever premises we are at are left in good condition.

We are at an exciting time in our organisation as we are expanding and require someone experienced in fundraising, through submitting funding applications, to help finance our ever developing activities and projects. They will be responsible for researching possible opportunities, completing applications, and considering other possible fundraising opportunities. They will also be responsible for keeping a record of which funds have been applied for, their progress and ensuring they are spent in the right way when successful. In addition, they will be highlighting the successes of the activities and projects funded through evaluations. They will be a valuable member of our team and will be increasing the sustainability of our community organisation. There is also the opportunity to become involved in other areas of our work and increase their skills set.
