Wave Radio is a broadcasting service for the wellbeing of patients at Dr Gray’s Hospital -- and by broadcasting online, they aim to bring the community into the hospital and the hospital into the community. This volunteering opportunity is also a great one if you have a love in music. They are not just looking for people to present on air, but would also welcome people who have a bit of spare time to catalogue music or music production. For people interested in any of their presenter slots, please know these programmes can be pre-recorded for broadcast at a later time. Right now, volunteers can do their shows from home, through the studios at Dr. Grays. Volunteers who have an interest in specific musical genre (i.e./Classical, show tunes, soul etc. ) or have a wide musical taste can find out more about how to help with their breakfast, afternoon and early evening programmes. Wave Radio is run entirely by volunteers and donations. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about volunteering with them!

Scotland has a very special system for making decisions about children at risk or in trouble – the Children’s Hearing System and our Panel Members are exceptional. They support infants, children and young people in local communities across Scotland. The role of a Panel Member is to listen and make legal decisions with and for infants, children and young people. They are there to ensure that the young person is at the heart of every decision taken – because every decision, no matter how big or small, has an impact. Panel Members are appointed for a three year period. As a trainee volunteer Panel Member you must be committed to comprehensive training over a three month period. At the end of your initial training you’ll gain a Professional Development Award for ‘Children’s Hearings in Scotland: Panel Members’. It is a unique award that is verified by the Scottish Qualifications Authority, and is one of the few awards available just for volunteers. We are looking for good listeners, people who are caring, compassionate and reliable. You need to be over 18 and live and/or work in the local authority area in which you wish to volunteer. Applications need to be received by February 9th. Apply online https://chscotland.gov.uk/

The Forres Heritage Trust celebrates and helps preserve the great buildings, including the Tolbooth and Nelson’s Tower, histories, stories and traditions that embody this area’s unique cultural heritage, both now and for future generations. The Trust has created a new tour at the Tolbooth which unlocks the history of the building’s old police office and cells, highlighting the newly renovated courtroom as well as the parapet around the clock tower – which has never been open to the public before. Volunteers are needed as tour guides, to help by providing a warm welcome and to help visitors understand the history and context of both these remarkable buildings and their conservation. Could you help to inspire and engage our visitors with helping to tell the story and fascinating history of both of the Tolbooth and Nelson’s Tower? Training and support will be given to all volunteers, giving you materials and information for your own learning. Frequency of tours and times have yet to be finalised and will initially be dependent on volunteers' availabilities. If you would like to find out more about this role or have a chat please get in touch by emailing fhtvolunteers@outlook.com
