Museum volunteer to help with archiving and cataloguing donated historic items. An eye for detail, patience and time required.

Peep is looking for caring and enthusiastic volunteers who would like to help at our baby and toddler groups throughout the city. We offer free groups that promote attachment based activities (i.e. singing, book sharing, different types of play) to parents and carers in Aberdeen. Our groups are very popular with most having a waitlist, but as a small team we can only offer so many sessions. We’re initially looking for volunteers to help us at the groups but there is a potential for volunteers to receive training to eventually deliver their own Peep groups. If singing and playing with small children isn’t for you, we’re also looking for volunteers to help us with our resource library. Our library has approximately 5000 items and it is a job in itself to keep it up to date. Our library needs someone who can help us clean, sort, repair, and develop new resources that can be used at groups. Although not essential, we appreciate volunteers who can and are willing to sew and be crafty! For further details please contact Natasha Martens, Peep Coordinator at E Mail: nmartens@aberdeencity.gov.uk or tel.: 01224 248389.

If you are a patient, friendly, sociable person, and are capable in providing a welcoming environment for people with dementia and their carers. You would be expected to provide information about the Playlist for Life music tracks. This music taps into the fact that meaningful music has the ability to improve the life for people with dementia, as well as their family and their carers. Playlist for Life is far more than listening to music. It is about creating personal connections. It fosters understanding and empowers family carers as well as ensuring professional care is more person related. The position will require the person to set up a help point in a designated area.
