Are you interested in becoming a volunteer with Police Scotland? With a long and impressive history. The special constable role is a part-time, volunteer opportunity where members of the public can maximise their spare time supporting their communities. Not only will you support the vision of Police Scotland for safer communities, less crime, and supporting victims. You will be joining a thriving workforce which may offer opportunities for a new career. As a special constable, you will be given identical powers to that of a police officer, who you will work alongside and at times that best suit you. If you are interested in volunteering up to 96 hours per year, learning new skills, forging strong partnerships in the community, preventing crime, and making a real difference in the community you love, then this is the role for you.

Friends of Aberdeen Beach (a.k.a FAB) is a community group committed to maintaining and improving the quality of seaside between the mouth of the rivers Dee and Don. We, at Friends of Aberdeen Beach, do regular litter picks on the city’s beach. It’s an opportunity to get out and about in the fresh air, meet new people and do your bit for our community. Removing litter not only makes the beach look nicer but it also helps protect the wildlife off Aberdeen’s coast (like the dolphins, seals and seabirds) and keeps beach users and dogs safe from rubbish that’s been washed up. We liaise with Aberdeen City Council who assist us with our clean ups, provide equipment to us and install and maintain local facilities (bins, public toilets, information signs etc.). A fantastic, enjoyable opportunity to help and make a positive difference to Aberdeen’s wonderful beach.
