The Western Isles Duke of Edinburgh’s Award are looking for volunteer Youth Expedition Leaders. Not all expeditions are done on foot, although this tends to be logistically most simple so many are, but can also be by other forms of transport that don’t have a motor. Options include cycling, kayaking, sailing, horse-riding, coasteering, long boarding etc. If you have experience in any of these activities (or others you can think of) then we would be very happy to hear from you! Bronze expeditions are for 2 days and 1 night, Silver are 3 days and 2 night, and Gold are 4 days and 3 night. At Bronze, there is just 1 expedition to complete, but at Silver and Gold each group complete a ‘practice’ expedition at each level, and then if leaders are happy to go on to complete their ‘qualifying’ expedition, which is assessed. If expeditions are not your thing, you can help out with the ‘admin’ side of things supporting the young people with their ‘edofe’, logging on and uploading their evidence and ensuring that their profile is up to date and assessor reports are in. Training will be provided for any new volunteers. Commitment would be various hours between April – September for Expeditions and the admin role would be ad-hoc all year round.

Cycling Without Age Scotland is a transformational project which brings the elderly population closer to the outdoor environment through the power of Cycling. It offers the elderly or less able bodied, the chance to hitch a ride on a trishaw and enjoy the outdoors in a relaxing and invigorating way. Based on the national model, the Lewis and Harris Chapter has formed a core local committee and are keen to recruit volunteers to help establish and run the project. Our first aim is to raise enough money to purchase two trishaws, one for Stornoway and one for Tarbert. We then plan to link up (initially) with local care homes and organise to take elderly residents out on trishaws. Volunteers The project would offer considerable opportunities for volunteers and taking part would increase confidence and social skills in all age groups. For those who volunteer with the project, it is a chance to be part of something that makes a real difference to the lives of those in their community. They will form friendships and, from the stories they hear on the rides, learn more about their local community. They will develop important social skills and their own health will benefit from the exercise and fresh air.
