Looking for a volunteering opportunity? See the latest Scotland-wide volunteering opportunities at Volunteer Scotland. We regularly update our website with the latest opportunities within West Lothian.
Community event volunteers attend and support our regular social events for focus people and their families in Edinburgh and Lothian. Social events have a theme or activity (such as arts & crafts, coding, Zumba, martial arts, etc.) and volunteers join in with the focus people. This helps to build the focus people’s confidence and skills in social situations. Events are scheduled, but volunteers can attend a selection of the dates if their schedule doesn’t allow for full commitment to the social events.
Volunteers will be registered with the Disclosure Scotland PVG scheme.
