Children fall behind at school for a variety of reasons. We need caring adults who can tutor a child with reading, writing and number work. Being able to build a childs confidence as an able learner is vital when tutoring. Tutoring can have a huge impact on childrens lives. Tutors work with a child on a one to one basis to teach the basics of reading, writing and numeracy. Tutors enjoy seeing the young persons confidence as a learner develop and when progress is made feel a great deal of satisfaction. Free training is provided, so if you're interested in a career in teaching/ education or just want to support a local child why not give 1 or 2 hours of your time a week and get involved.

Many of the people coming to the CAB are upset, confused or distressed. Therefore we need an individual that can build a rapport, in a caring and sympathetic manner.

Various Boys Brigade Groups across West Lothian are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help lead games and sporty activities for their children and young people aged between 5 and 18 years old.

Our tea party drivers are a vital part of the Re-engage team. Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for our older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated. Drivers take older people to the parties and stay with them to enjoy the get-together. Over time, drivers and older guests get to know each other well and together you will spend many hours full of fun, laughter, and stories. As a tea party driver, you liaise with your group coordinator and take older guests to and from the tea parties each month. Staying at the tea party is part of your role, so it’s much more than being a driver. Tasks include: Driving one to two older guests using your own car to a tea party venue and returning them home again after the event . Staying at the tea party to help with conversation and serve refreshments. Liaising with the group coordinator to confirm which older guests you will pick up. Informing the group coordinator of any safeguarding concerns or issues you might have. Following all guidance in your driver training modules to ensure that the tea parties are enjoyable, appropriate, and in line with our charitable aims.
