This volunteering opportunity is to support our early year’s activities within our busy centre.
On a Tuesday we have our fun Mucky Pups activities. This is a messy play activity with sand, art and water etc. Parents come along and interact with their children.
We would wish our volunteer to speak to parents, filling up resources and help our caretaking staff set up the resources.
Good induction and ongoing support is provided to all volunteers. A fantastic opportunity to help at a busy and enjoyable group. All volunteers make a real difference and are greatly appreciated.

Home-Start Glenrothes is a Family Support charity offering support and friendship for parents with young children (0-5years). We offer support to families across Glenrothes through home visiting volunteers and Family Support Groups.
The purpose of the Home-Start Glenrothes Family Support Group is bringing together parents and children who may be feeling isolated or lacking in confidence and who may like the opportunity to meet other families. Children have the opportunity to play with their peers and form friendships and are also encouraged to play with parents. We provide activities that are designed to allow families to play and grow together and to build confidence in a relaxed atmosphere.
Volunteers assist the Family Support Group Co-ordinator to provide the activities. We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have experience of supporting families and have ideas for activities to engage our younger children.
Perhaps you have an interesting hobby or a creative mind? Either way, we are keen to build on the range of activities offered and would love to hear your ideas.
Please note, we are currently working to government guidelines and have various measures in place to protect our families, volunteers and staff. Please feel free to get in touch to speak to us about these safety measures should you have any concerns.

The Service offers family mediation, counselling and therapies, child contact and other family support services to families, children, young people, parents, couples and individuals. All our work centres around supporting them to overcome relationship difficulties, separation and conflict.
Volunteers work in our Perth Child Contact Centre on Saturdays between 10am and 4pm. Child Contact Centres are child-friendly, safe, neutral, staffed places where children can come to spend time with their parent, sibling or any other family member, following a relationship breakdown or separation, where otherwise they wouldn’t get to see them due to family conflict. Parents do not meet and children get to develop relationships through play. This enables parents to develop trust in each other as parents and move towards making their own arrangements if possible. Volunteers are invaluable in enabling children and family members to connect through play and offering a service that benefits the local communities and families. Volunteers have enabled the development of child contact centres in the area and they continue to be crucial contributors, by managing the families’ coming and going on the day and facilitating children to engage in play and develop important family relationships.

From a small handful of girls who gatecrashed the first ever Scout rally, demanding ‘something for the girls’, Girlguiding has grown into a vast and vibrant network of members across the UK.
We’re the UK’s leading charity for girls and young women. Across the whole of the UK, an amazing 100,000 volunteers help 400,000 girls aged 4 to 25 to share the life-changing experience of Girlguiding.
When a girl becomes a Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or member of the Senior Section she joins a group of girls her own age and will be led by our carefully trained and dedicated volunteers. Whatever inspires her, whatever her passions and interests, we offer her the chance to develop her potential, make friends and have fun.
Our volunteers do amazing things - some of which might surprise you. They go white water rafting, train leaders overseas, celebrate LGBT inclusion in their local Pride parade and sing along with 10,000 girls at Wembley Arena. We currently have opportunities for adult volunteers throughout Midlothian . There are 12 units in the Dalkeith area and many girls wanting to join. Units normally meet for up to 2 hours, one night per week. We have units meeting each night of the week and would like more adults to come along and help with our units so that more girls wills be given the opportunity to join .
Rainbows are aged 5-7, Brownies 7-10, Guides 10-14, Senior Section 14-26.
Volunteers should register their interest via the Girl Guiding website at https://go.girlguiding.org.uk/join-us/join-as-volunteer/

Being a Rainbow, Brownie or Guide is all about having the space to try new things through a programme of age-appropriate activities, trips and adventures. More information can be found at https://www.girlguidingscotland.org.uk/
The purpose of the role is to give girls opportunities for fun, friendship, challenge and adventure. As a leader you have responsibility for the unit you work with but you don’t need to do everything! Tasks can be shared with other volunteers – working together to make the most of the skills and time you are able to give. Some tasks include:
• Providing a safe girl-only space where girls can discover their full potential.
• Creating and delivering an accessible and inclusive programme as set out by Girlguiding.
• Encouraging and supporting members in decision-making.
• Completing relevant training for the role and encouraging other members to develop their skills.
• Overseeing unit administration and finance.
• Complying with Girlguiding policies and regulations.
