We are looking for volunteers to befriend elderly people living in their own homes. The aim is to reduce social isolation and feeling of loneliness amongst the elderly people. By providing 1:1 support you will also indirectly support people’s family by giving them short respite and/or someone to talk to.

We would love to hear from anyone who can offer 2 or 3 hours a week in our relaunched shop at 74 Dalry Road. Volunteers help with all aspects of running our lively shop; from accepting and sorting donations, to creating stylish & eye catching window displays, to meeting and serving customers. This is a great chance to meet new people, learn new skills and to be part of something very special. If you would like to find out more why not pop in to the Dalry shop or call 0131 337 0685

The life changing services that Caudwell Children deliver across the UK are made possible with the support of thousands of volunteers giving their time to enable disabled children to reach their full potential. We appreciate and value each of our volunteers and want to make your volunteering experience a rewarding and enjoyable one. The time and commitment of volunteers is needed to promote the services of Caudwell Children which can be offered to families who have a child with a disability/chronic health condition. This will involve running an information stand in the local hospital and talking to families who are attending appointments.

Volunteers are required to play a crucial role in the Family Services department for Caudwell Children. In order the service to develop and expand it is crucial that we are able to gain valuable feedback from the families we have helped. Through telephone contact with the families we have supported, volunteers will collect feedback from our service users that will influence the future of the service. Volunteers will be trained to ensure that the families have received the support needed and identify any further support the family may require.
