Find opportunities

Are you looking for a new challenge, to connect with others and improve your wellbeing? Then volunteering with Girlguiding Edinburgh may be for you. We have many girls in Edinburgh looking to join Girlguiding as Rainbows, Brownies and Guides, so to make this happen, we need new volunteers/members to lead units or to generally help out. We have many roles for you to get involved in so why not join our online event to find out more? You may have registered interest already - in that case, do still come along! Being a member with Girlguiding has so much to offer you, as well as the girls. We will tell you all about this in our event, which will be on Zoom so sign up today. We're looking forward to meeting you!

A dedicated venue will be provided for ships' crews to visit and access free soft/hot drinks, wi-fi, and interact with other crew members. This facility will be available in a central location from 10:00 - 20:00hrs each day from Tuesday 25th July - Saturday 29th July (closing at 13:00 on Saturday). Liaison staff will be required to assist crew members with any enquiries and to supervise the area.

Community Support Volunteers support people who have had one of our conditions to develop autonomy and confidence in self-management, enabling them to fully engage with their community and activities of their choosing. The service follows a pathway from hospital to community and can be delivered in a one-to-one and/or a group setting. The service will all depend on Scottish Government Covid guidelines. The service can be delivered to provide specified person-centred communication support for those with a communication difficulty and/or to support a specific physical or everyday task. To undertake your role you will be required to undertake membership of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Adults) schemes in Scotland (PVG).

Volunteer with us in our Inverurie shop and help make a real difference in your local community! Our volunteers are vital in helping run our shops and raising funds to help make sure people with chest, heart and stroke conditions get the support they need to live their lives to the full. This is an exciting role in our new Inverurie shop that would be suitable for someone looking to gain retail or customer service experience, or a friendly individual with a helpful disposition interested in making a contribution to their local community. One of our wonderful shop volunteers Anne shares why she loves volunteering in store, “I wanted to learn new skills as well as get to know more people locally, so volunteering in the shop was ideal. I enjoy being part of the team! It’s good to feel useful and part of the successful running of the shop.” Get in touch if you’d like to join our friendly team today!
