Peep is looking for caring and enthusiastic volunteers who would like to help at our baby and toddler groups throughout the city. We offer free groups that promote attachment based activities (i.e. singing, book sharing, different types of play) to parents and carers in Aberdeen. Our groups are very popular with most having a waitlist, but as a small team we can only offer so many sessions. We’re initially looking for volunteers to help us at the groups but there is a potential for volunteers to receive training to eventually deliver their own Peep groups. If singing and playing with small children isn’t for you, we’re also looking for volunteers to help us with our resource library. Our library has approximately 5000 items and it is a job in itself to keep it up to date. Our library needs someone who can help us clean, sort, repair, and develop new resources that can be used at groups. Although not essential, we appreciate volunteers who can and are willing to sew and be crafty! For further details please contact Natasha Martens, Peep Coordinator at E Mail: nmartens@aberdeencity.gov.uk or tel.: 01224 248389.

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (ESW) is looking for volunteers to help with maintaining the grounds around our building which will include weeding and clearing foliage, some trimming of hedges and other similar jobs. Time commitment requirement is dependent on the person applying and their availability, even just 1 day would be good and we are also open to people coming regularly over the summer.

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop has three areas of planted open ground alongside its purpose built sculpture making facilities adjoining the cyclepath on Hawthornvale in Newhaven. The original planting scheme is faring well but we need to be able to maintain it properly and are looking for someone who would be able to help us with this, either to discuss the best approach with members of staff and do some work on it, or to supervise some volunteers on specified work days.

We are a team of volunteers based in and around Aberdeen responsible for Pushing Out the Boat, North-East Scotland’s magazine of new writing and the visual arts.
