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.
Come help us provide parents with affordable, high quality preloved items and raise money to support local parents at the same time.

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.

Being a Community Facilitator is all about delivering a variety of lifesaving first aid skills in community engagement workshops and projects, within local communities, and primary and secondary schools. A lot of these projects involve talking about and demonstrating the basics of first aid to community groups that can include children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
An example of events you could be delivering a first aid talk and demo to, are primary and secondary schools, small university groups, local community groups, charities, summer fairs, shopping centres. Some of the skills you could be teaching include how to provide CPR and apply a defib, different bandages and how to use them, and basic information on various health conditions. Not only that but all the training needed, is provided by us at no cost to you!
