The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) in Clackmannanshire, Stirling and Falkirk provides opportunities to older people or those in or approaching retirement to volunteer in a primary or secondary school to support pupils with reading or writing, numbers, arts and crafts, music or other activities depending on the schools requirements. We are also looking for Volunteer Organisers to help grow the network of schools our volunteers work in, as well as being involved in the recruitment and training of new volunteers. School Volunteers are not teachers, however, the individual attention they can give to a child helps develop essential skills, as well as fostering children’s overall wellbeing and confidence. Volunteers usually go into school for one session a week. They give one-to-one help to children selected by the teachers to benefit from it. Volunteers liaise closely with teachers to complement the work in the classroom.

Adult Literacy and Numeracy support. We deliver lots of different projects throughout the area (volunteers need to contact us to see what is on offer at that time), and the adults that we are working with quite often require help with reading and writing skills. The support is usually done in a learner centred approach e.g. if they were applying for a job we would help them with this or if they were applying to go to College or they maybe want to help their children with their maths homework. It can vary from project to project and week to week.

Wider Achievement is delivered in primary schools, a one hour workshop with children and should be something that they don’t learn in school. 4wk blocks term time. Dates can be provided. Some examples are : if the adult has a particular skills that they think children would like to learn e.g decoupage/baking/architectural drawings/an unusual sport/computer skill etc.

Looking for a new meaningful challenge? Then why not put your skills to good use with Community Learning and Development (CLD). We are looking for volunteers to commit to a couple of hours a week to support local people to develop their skills. You could support people to improve their reading, writing, numbers, cooking and employability, or help people towards first step qualifications to access further education and other learning opportunities. "CLD training and support really helps us to undertake and be clear about our role, and to know what is expected of us and what the boundaries are." CLD Volunteer 2018 Aberdeenshire Council CLD team are delivering initial volunteer training throughout the year. In addition to ongoing training opportunities, volunteers receive support and supervision and will be part of a peer support network with other volunteers who share knowledge and ideas together. So, as well as making a difference to others - there are also really positive benefits and opportunities for volunteers with their own learning and personal development.
