We are looking for individuals to volunteer at our events throughout Scotland.
Our volunteers play a vital role in making events a massive success and there are lots of opportunities to get involved.
We need volunteers to:
• Help with the pre planning and organising of our events
• On the day event set up (Greeting Guests, Registration, Raffles)
• Promoting Events in the area
• Be part of the cheer team at running and sports events
You will:
• Make a difference to those living with a hearing loss in Scotland
• Get events management experience and add to your CV
• Develop your leadership, communication and fundraising skills
You can give up as much or as little of your time as you wish. Our events take place throughout the year, at various times of the day and we will always give you lots of notice
Come and help us record and monitor the plants and animals in the Seven Lochs Wetland Park. No experience necessary, just an enthusiasm for nature.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to take part in a range of surveys. Over the winter we do bird surveys, in spring we do amphibian surveying and as the weather becomes warmer, we will move onto bee and butterfly surveys.
We run training sessions before each survey starts so that you will know exactly what you are doing. All courses are suitable for complete beginners. If you are still not confident in carrying out a survey after receiving training, we can buddy you up with a more experienced volunteer.
We would also love to hear from you if you have a particular area of expertise and would like to be a volunteer mentor. Please also let us know if there is a particular species you would like to survey. We will try our best to support you and arrange relevant training if needed.
Moray Diabetes Uk Group needs new volunteers. For many years we have been supporting people living with diabetes and those who care for them, raising funds for research, raising awareness of diabetes and campaigning for better local services
We need folk who could help organise monthly local meetings and or events or head up some fundraising, or just generally lend a hand to the group. No experience is necessary but a basic knowledge of diabetes is important. Full, friendly support for volunteers is available both locally and nationally.
The Police Scotland Youth Volunteers (PSYV) programme aims to strengthen the relationship with the Police and young people, breaking down barriers and promoting positive role models. Police Scotland Youth Volunteers promotes a practical way for young people to understand policing by supporting the Police in their local area through volunteering. As part of this, young people are given a chance for their voice to be heard and encouraged to promote good citizenship. The programme is open to all young people aged between 13 – 18, this allows those people to get an insight into policing in Scotland and inspire individuals to participate positively within their communities.
We are looking for volunteers for this year's North Harris Show, which takes place on Thursday 18th July. If you'd like to volunteer we'd love to hear from you! There are no age restrictions and those under 16 will be paired up with a partner where necessary.
We have a huge range of jobs to be covered on the day, including looking after inflatables, face painting, candyfloss making, competition score taking and much more! Please contact the Volunteer Centre if you are interested! Volunteering is vital to keep these community events going.

Anthony Nolan Trust wants volunteers to help out for a few hours at a one-off event in the Nicolson Institute on Wednesday 19th June. The Trust helps people with certain types of cancer who require stem cell treatment. Volunteers will work alongside members of the Fire and Rescue Service to take contact details and saliva samples from young people in the Nicolson who want to register as potential stem cell donors with the Trust. Donors on the register who are a compatible match for a cancer patient will be asked to donate some blood, from which stem cells are extracted. This is a truly life-saving act of generosity. Contact the VCWI for more information about the event. Volunteers must be 16+ and are not themselves being asked to register with the Trust.
We are currently preparing for our annual butterfly releases. We are looking for volunteers at our Stornoway release on Sat 3rd August, if you are local and able to spare a few hours on the day to help at a wonderful event that means so much to the families who attend, please email Zoey.linton@simbacharity.org.uk for further information.
Our SiMBA butterfly releases are a joining together of families and friends to release a butterfly in honour of a baby who has died. The event is simple, but perfect, full of poems, readings, music, songs and time for reflection. After the service itself we ask you to join us for tea/coffee and time to talk to us and to each other. Last year throughout all our events we have over 1000 joining together showing support to each other.
