Volunteering
Have you got time to give?Volunteering
Volunteering can be great way to meet new people, keep busy, learn new skills, get work experience and add to your CV – overall it can be a great confidence booster and very rewarding.
If you have some time to give; once a week or less often, why not join our community.
We will reimburse out of pocket expenses, provide training, support and invitations to volunteer social events.

“It’s coming up to a year now since I’ve been volunteering as a blether buddy. Once a week after work, I head over to visit an elderly person in their home.
Before I knew it, these visits became a permanent highlight of my week. Connecting with someone from a different generation and background is one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had. In the end, I feel my visits are as much a gift for me as they are for my befriendee.
If you live in London, can spare a couple of hours a week and would love to volunteer in a way that fosters long-lasting connections with those you help, reach out to ScotsCare!”
