Volunteering opportunities

Make a Difference

The Volunteer Centre is in contact with hundreds of organisations and we can find the perfect volunteering opportunity for you. Volunteering can be extremely rewarding and you can meet new friends and learn new skills. If you’ve got a couple of hours to spare, make a difference with it and volunteer.
1.5 million adults in Scotland volunteer time and talents to help others. Volunteers do an amazing job helping some of the most disadvantaged in our communities. This is what some of them say:

“I love it. You get a real buzz from helping people and knowing that you are making things better. Plus I’ve got the odd hour to spare.”
“I really enjoyed learning new things and meeting new people. It was great fun too.”
Why Volunteer?

Looking for a new career?
Volunteering can open the right doors, get work experience, learn new skills, build confidence and looks great on a CV.

Want to give something back?
There is no better feeling than when you have made a difference and helped someone who really needed it.

Feel passionate about something?
If it’s close to your heart, get involved! Volunteer and support what you believe in.

Want to meet new people?
You will make friends and meet people you otherwise would not. Plus volunteering can be a laugh!

Millennium Volunteers Award

 

There are lots of opportunities for young people too! Plus you can receive an official award from the Scottish Executive for volunteering.

We run the Millennium Volunteers Award where 16-25 year olds can gain certificates from the Scottish Executive for volunteering.

If you have or are in the process of completing 50, 100 or 200 hours of volunteering, then you can get a certificate. As well as recognising your hard work and dedication. Plus, it is excellent for your CV.

Volunteering can be a great learning experience, teaching you skills which can help you get into university or find a job. If you need to volunteer or gain a certificate for a course such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, we can help

Aged 16 - 25? Check out the new online MV Passport. Register and search all the opportunities in your area today. www.mvvolunteeringpassport.org.uk

“I chose hospital radio and volunteered for around four years - two or three evenings a week.
It built my confidence, was highly rewarding and undoubtedly led me to my career.”
