Following the successful funding for a new biomass boiler, WDC’s Scottish Dolphin Centre is now open 5 days per week through the winter months. Our focus during the winter will be the history of the Tugnet Salmon Fishing Station and what life was like in Spey Bay for the local ‘fisher folk’. We are now looking for two volunteers to become part of our ‘front of house’ team to deliver tours of Tugnet Icehouse (the UK’s largest surviving icehouse) to our visitors.

Although our Active Women session is open to all women a high percentage of our customers are from the BME community. These sessions are intended to provide a comfortable environment for those who would feel uneasy being in the pool supervised by staff members of the opposite sex. We are therefore looking for female volunteers with translator interpreter skills to meet and greet our customers, show them to the changing rooms and poolside. You should be aware that the session is held in a Leisure Centre resulting in variable temperatures.

As a volunteer you will meet new people, who you will train with. You will become a valued member of the team, developing the skills you already have and learn new ones, eg your confidence, so you feel ready to talk to other young people in schools or in other Youth Groups. You will help them learn new skills like budgeting their money, getting on with neighbours and filling in forms. You might be doing workshops with 14/15 year olds in schools, talking to people who are homeless or who have just got a tenancy. You may want to help make up useful information leaflets, or videos or even developing an information website.
