The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages and supports people aged 50+ to volunteer in their local communities. We are looking for people over the age of 50, who are interested in volunteering within Primary Schools in the Falkirk area.
In this role, you may support pupils with reading, writing, or numbers in small groups. Alternatively there are opportunities to support the teacher in the classroom environment during arts and crafts, music, drama or any other activities suggested by the class teacher. You may also support the school with playground monitoring or school trips.
The activities that you carry out are flexible and can be agreed between yourself and the school. Flexible volunteering hours is also available to suit your needs and availability.
Our Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme running in Forth Valley encourages and assists older people to use their skills and experience to volunteer and keep active in retirement. Across England, Wales and Scotland we have hundreds of older people volunteering in their communities including in local hospitals, schools, healthy walking groups and charitable knitting groups. Volunteering can have a huge impact on the people and services we support, the local community and volunteers themselves.
