Fairway Fife is a registered charity supporting people with disabilities to access social and leisure interests in their own community. They recruit and train volunteer peer mentors who guide and support their members to strive towards achieving their life goals by accessing everyday activities & experiences such as socialising in the community, outdoor activities, sports, creative arts and other health and wellbeing related activities. By facilitating community-based activities with peers of the same age who have similar interests, they provide a platform where natural friendships can develop, reducing stigmatisation and marginalisation of those with disabilities.

Home-based volunteering, Suitable for groups, One-off volunteering, Board/trustee role
Crossroads is a registered charity which has been operating for 37 years in South Ayrshire (although also with a national footprint). We provide a highly needed service in offering a respite service for at home carers. The charity runs with a small office team supported by a team of Care Attendants and over seen by a Management Committee comprising of volunteers who each bring a different set of skills and expertise to aid the operation of the charity.
Our next aim is to raise our profile in South Ayrshire and we would gladly welcome the support of volunteers who would like to share our aim and interest by supporting us, as a volunteer fundraiser.
Ideally the volunteer would have a sales and marketing background, yet it is not mandatory as the sales pitch can be delivered by one of the committee members. The volunteer fundraiser would support by identifying donors, raising the group's profile, writing applications for funding opportunities, organising events, etc.
The group meets on a Tuesday of every second month at 7pm in a meeting room at Biggart Hospital, Prestwick (where the office is located), yet most of the volunteering can easily be done remotely and perhaps meet with the team occasionally as required.
Kindly fill in the contact us form on https://crossroads-sa.org.uk/contact.asp and we will get back to you at our earliest.
