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 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.
