As above, working with a group of around 20 boys and girls who are dedicated to their football and to whom participation means everything. The Club currently offers fortnightly training sessions on a Sunday from 12-3 and gives kids with Cerebral Palsy the chance to play football in an equal ability environment and gives them the very important feeling of belonging to a club. As well as coaching this role also includes the opportunity to continue the Club's support of a local or national league format being set up to allow these kids to participate against other teams.

*Could you help develop outdoor play activities for children and young people? Would you like to help children and young people engage in activities, developing their social skills and opportunities to have fun?* Aberlour Futures Aberdeen provide a range of play opportunities for children and young people in Aberdeen, which include school holiday play programmes in local parks and communities. The drop-in holiday programmes are popular with families who attend sessions regardless of the weather. During the school holidays we also provide a Woodland Explorers project for children and young people with support needs. Our ‘Loose Parts’ schools based programmes are delivered in school during the school term. Volunteer Play Rangers support children to have fun, be creative, make friends and develop social skills. If you are looking for an opportunity to develop your own skills, while making a positive difference to the lives of children and young people in Aberdeen, this could be the opportunity for you. >What will I be doing? Volunteers can make a difference to a child or young person’s life by: • Assisting with outdoor (and occasionally) indoor play activities delivering ‘Loose Parts’ free play opportunities. • Encouraging children and young people to take part in activities to build confidence and have fun. • Helping to empower children and young people to identify what their interests are and what they would like to learn.

You will be helping to transform the lives of people on the autistic spectrum and their families by helping with activities organised by Creatovators. Creatovators organises a monthly Play Scheme and sessional Lego®-based Therapy Sessions. We are looking for volunteers to help set up the rooms, chat to families, work/play with the children and help tidy up. The Play Scheme is fairly relaxed and informal, and volunteers are asked to listen to parents and carers and/or play with the children. During the Lego®-based Therapy Sessions volunteers will be responsible for helping the children learn to be calm, talk and listen to each other, cooperate and play with each other. This is done as they work in teams to build Lego models. There is potential for volunteers to take part in additional services as Creatovators grows.

Would you like to volunteer alongside young people aged 8-12 years, encouraging and supporting them to reach their full potential, and at a place where their achievements are recognised and celebrated? Throughout their involvement with young people, the Youth Service aim to ensure that young people enjoy their youth work experiences, that they learn new skills and take part in opportunities with an emphasis on building relationships, learning together and having fun. The relationship that a young person has with Youth Work volunteers and staff is therefore central to what can be achieved and as a volunteer you will be directly involved in the youth club and it's activities. A volunteer that has a talent for passing on a skill in Sports, Arts & Crafts, Cooking & Baking and Music will quickly fit in with the needs of young people. You will help young people to participate, develop and grow so that they are confident, resilient and optimistic about their future. The club runs Wednesdays 6-7.30pm, volunteer needed 15 minutes before and after, term-time only.
