Volunteering opportunities at PKAVS, Perth & Kinross

At PKAVS, Volunteers are at the heart of our organisation and are essential to everything that we do.

We have been supporting communities across Perth & Kinross for over 50 years; however, there has never been a more exciting time to join us as a volunteer.

We offer an inclusive culture that’s based on compassion, togetherness, speaking from the heart, and our passion for making a positive impact. As a volunteer any expenses are reimbursed and you’ll be provided with training and learning opportunities to help you develop new skills as well as sharing your existing experience and expertise with us.
