Can you spare 1/2 hours per week to support families within Edinburgh?
Volunteering Matters are a national volunteering charity. We are looking for "Family Support" Volunteers in the City of Edinburgh, who can offer practical, social and emotional support to a local family in need.
Our Family Supporters programme recruits, trains and supports volunteers, matching them 1:1 with parents and families facing a range of life challenges and barriers. Volunteers help families, spending 1:1 time together on a personalised set of goals chosen by the family, for the family.
These goals may including achieving improved living standards, building confidence and soft skills, budgeting, healthier eating, better school life, improving health and wellbeing or introducing parents to community resources, and lots more.
If you have an understanding of the challenges that families are facing and would like to use your life experiences and skills to support others, this could be the role for you!
As a volunteer, you will build a strong relationship based on trust and mutual respect, acting as a friendly face who listens and cares about the family.
Sport Aberdeen’s Active Schools team is seeking new volunteers who are eager to play an important role in improving the health and wellbeing of Aberdeen’s young people.
Are you looking for a fun and exciting way to inspire the next generation and help local children to get active? Boost your confidence, develop life skills and enhance your CV by volunteering to support existing sport and physical activity sessions or develop new ones.
Active Schools Aberdeen are on the lookout for new volunteers to boost local children’s involvement in sport and physical activity.
The invitation to volunteer extends to anyone over the age of 13 with a desire to help young people, with an interest in sport and a desire to give back to the local community. Opportunities are available before school, during lunchtime, after-school or in the evening, and new volunteers (including all secondary school pupils) will be accompanied by another coach or volunteer at sessions.
Active Schools is a sportscotland national initiative that aims to provide all children with high quality opportunities to take part in sport and physical activity. The Aberdeen Active Schools team is part of award-winning charity Sport Aberdeen and they engage with all local authority primary and secondary schools across the city with a responsibility to encourage young people to participate in free physical activity sessions and join extracurricular sports clubs. Getting involved in Active Schools activities will help get more children active and give them the opportunity to develop important life skills. Be it making friends, getting active, improving health and mental well-being or gaining self-esteem, there are many benefits of participating in sport.
Across the city we have a team of almost 900 volunteers, including parents, teachers, students, secondary school pupils, family members and club coaches.
Eilidh Shanks, former Active Schools volunteer during secondary school, said:
“I really enjoyed volunteering for Active Schools. I was involved in helping at netball clubs, holiday activity camps and fun runs. I loved that I got to work with kids of all ages, encouraging them to take part in sport. It was rewarding to see the kids enjoying themselves and improving each week.”
Volunteering can also help to shape a career in sport. Rory Anton, former Active Schools volunteer, commented:
“During my time volunteer coaching for Active Schools, it really helped me see the power of sport for young people and allowed me as a young coach to develop my leadership capabilities. There are definitely aspects of my job as a Club Development Officer at RGU SPORT supporting the development of our Student Leaders that I couldn’t do without the experience of leading so many sessions for Active Schools.”
This is a great opportunity to join a supportive team and individuals will receive full training to ensure safe delivery of all sessions. For those at secondary school we also run a Pupil Sports Leadership programme alongside volunteering opportunities. Those who have the desire to make a difference, acquire new skills and positively impact the lives of local children through sport and physical activity are urged to get involved.
