Dyce & Stoneywood Community Association is looking to recruit volunteers to help us with our programme, These opportunities are:
• Running exercise classes such as Technogym: Technogym is a light exercise class with the use of machines to help people of low fitness get back into exercising. You will need to go through a 2 hour training session for health and safety. These classes run weekly and you will be working alongside another volunteer to help with running the class and cover.
• Movie Club: We run a monthly movie club and would require someone who enjoys movies to help run this for us.
• Youth Activities: such as Lego club and potential summer and holiday activities. PVG (Protection of Vulnerable Groups check/scheme membership) will be required.
Fantastic opportunities to help and make a real difference for people and the community. All volunteer help is greatly appreciated.

Come along and help us create a 'Pop up Shop' in for all that your pregnancy, baby and child needs. We take in preloved items on the Friday night, set up a massive one stop shop for the sale on Saturday morning and clear it all away again. We have 3 volunteer shifts available , 6pm-10pm on Friday, 9am-1.30pm and 1pm-4pm on the Saturday. We ask that you try to do at least two out of the three shifts but please get in touch with if you are able to help at all within those times. As well as a lovely 'pot luck lunch' and the feel good buzz of volunteering, volunteers do get advanced shopping on the Friday night or before the sale on the Saturday morning.
We run 4 Sales a year - 2 in Aberdeen city and 2 in Aberdeenshire.

The Sporting Aces reach out to people of all ages within the community who feel they may not be able to try different sports because of their disability. We help them to break down barriers to participation.

As part of a team, to welcome, supervise and signpost visitors into an exciting new Pop In & Play Table Tennis facility in Centre West, East Kilbride Shopping Centre.
This is a fantastic opportunity to support South Lanarkshire’s first Table Tennis Pop In & Play facility in East Kilbride Shopping Centre. The initiative is led by East Kilbride Table Tennis Club with support from Table Tennis Scotland and EK Life. The facility lets visitors to the centre literally “pop in and play” Table Tennis whilst they go about their normal business.
We need volunteers with an interest in sport/activity to help us supervise the facility by welcoming guests, showing them Table Tennis basics, managing table space and providing guests with additional information about where they can play Table Tennis in the region.
For volunteers who are new to table tennis, we will buddy you up with experienced table tennis’ers in the early days – so don’t worry about that aspect!
Current opening hours are 11am to 2pm, Mon-Fri. However, we want the facility to be open as many hours as possible and as such, we aim to support all your available volunteer hours as best we can.
We need volunteers aged 16 and over to help children and young people with physical and/or learning disabilities have fun on one of our evening youth groups at our accessible, specially designed, play and activity centre. Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays from 6.20pm to 8pm. You’ll meet new people and learn new skills! Visit www.ddcaok.com to find out more.
There are thousands of possibilities available to you through Girlguiding Scotland. Leadership, skills, challenges and adventures are all found and made whilst with Girlguiding Scotland
Angus Cycle Hub encourage people to live healthier lives and reduce car journeys and CO2 emissions through cycling and recycling.
We run two community based projects based in Arbroath and Dundee, Scotland.
We are committed to our community and want them involved in everything we do at Cycle Hub which is why we love volunteers! We have a variety of roles of varying lengths of commitment time. Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it.
We have a list of volunteer roles you can choose from, but we are ultimately flexible around you and your available time commitment, experience, interests and goals. We want to make sure we find something that fits you best and offers opportunity for growth, development and progression with us. In the past, our volunteers have supported us at our events, in our shops and workshops, and with our Bikeability program in schools.
If you are interested in making a difference to future generations, help us teach pupils about riding bikes on today’s roads! Bikeability is a training program that teaches children to cycle safely, to learn how to deal with traffic and that, above all gets children excited about cycling. The program is supported by a network of volunteer instructors across Scotland.
You will work alongside John to deliver Bikeability sessions that not only allow participants to gain confidence on a bike, but also increase social skills and a sense of wellbeing.
And if you feel like stepping it up, then we can put you through SCQF-accredited Bikeability Training (1 day course) so you can become an instructor and deliver Bikeability as a trained volunteer alongside the Angus Cycle Hub. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be an expert to become an instructor!
Each session last approx 1 hour. Ideally we try to work on a 1-1 basis with the child. The activities are very much dependant on the needs of the child. As the ages range from birth to pre-school this can be very varied. It could be watching over a sleeping baby to stretching your imagination to create a magical kingdom with super-heroes, princesses and dragons. One minute you could be sitting reading a book with a child and the next singing and playing “ring-a ring- a- roses”
