The mission of Citizens of Cyber is to bring together cyber-specialists and connect individuals and professional bodies, to support and assist in cyber-education and the development of safer online practices, aimed at people of all ages and knowledge levels.
We wish to use our professional network to keep up to date with the activities of hackers and online scammers and produce resources for use by schools, groups, and individuals, whether online, offline, or through face-to-face sessions.
We want cyber-users to know how to protect themselves and others online, whilst being confident and making the best of their online interactions, and still remain within the confines of the law while doing so. In addition, we aim to ensure that support is available for anyone affected by negative interactions online and to help anyone who finds themselves in cyber-related difficulties.
Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do and it is important for us to ensure we provide the best working environment possible. Volunteers work remotely during hours they set, our team focuses on ensuring clear deliverables are identified and agreed to allow volunteers to manage their own time.

Home-based volunteering, Board/trustee role
A unique opportunity to start from a blank sheet and advise / input into the building of this rather special project. The Floating Stage is a brand new initiative to provide a unique entertainment venue on the Scottish Lowland Canal network from Edinburgh to Glasgow,(and all points in between) We are looking for volunteers with an interest in stage design, production and direction to help shape the facility and to support the project in achieving our vision. The Stage Manager(s) / Designers will probably have experience in theatre, direction, production, scenery, lighting, am dram, event management etc. but none of this is essential. An enthusiasm for the project and empathy with our ambition will be far more important.
The Floating Stage will be predominantly run by volunteers, for the benefit of local communities, social enterprise and 3rd sector organisations, as well as up and coming and established performers of all genres of entertainment, hence we are needing to provide a one size fits all (but flexible) solution.
Full details of Our Vision and Proposals are detailed on our web site ~ www.thefloatingstage.co.uk. and the concept document therein.
As the project becomes established, it is envisaged there will be considerable liaison with the construction (boat building) team, event management team, major sponsors, and the fundraising team, among others.

The art and craft groups operating under the constituted group PCCC, aim to provide local, accessible and affordable creative opportunities for adults aged 16yrs+. The groups provide creative outlets for those who have an interest in the arts, as well as theraputic influences for those wishing to maintain or improve their overall health and wellbeing. Research has proven that local community opportunities that provide a purpose, a social network and safe, supportive environments are key for all who wish to have positive quality of life. The importance of such approaches has been highlighted within the Scottish Government with the recent consultation around a ‘Connected Scotland’ looking to identify and combat loneliness and isolation at the local level.

Financial reporting, banking, book keeping and record keeping. The Treasurer will be an authorised signatory to release funds and be accountable for accurate record keeping.
