DEBRA is a national charity and patient support organisation for people living with the rare, extremely painful, genetic skin blistering condition, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) also known as ‘Butterfly Skin’. EB causes the skin to become very fragile and tear or blister at the slightest touch. With your help we can find treatments and cure(s) for EB. Volunteering in a DEBRA shop can teach you new skills as well as meeting new people and gaining experience in retail. The role involves: - Operating a till to take cash and card payments - Engaging with customers on the shop floor - Replenishing stock on the shop floor - Recording donor details for gift aid - Creating eye catching displays

We’ve been invited to take part in a special opportunity with Scotmid/Semi-Chem stores, who are supporting Alzheimer Scotland as their Charity of the Year. This means we can have a presence in local stores to help raise awareness and fundraise for people living with dementia – and we’d love your help!   What’s Involved: Stores are open 7 days a week from 6am/7am until 10pm, so you can choose dates and times that suit you. You can help by collecting donations and chatting to shoppers to raise awareness. You can volunteer for just one or two hours, or longer if you wish – it’s completely flexible. We’ll provide t-shirts, and you won’t need to handle any money – the Scotmid store team will take care of counting donations after your session. When: Opportunities are available anytime from now through until August 2026. This is a lovely way to get involved, and fundraise for a cause close to many of us. If you or someone you know would be interested in taking part, please complete/submit the following: Scotmid Charity of the Year Volunteering Opportunity 2026 – Fill out form If you are interested, please click the ‘Apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). You will then be contacted by the coordinator by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder for your emails, just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out, then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow.

Re-engage is committed to older people being heard, valued and engaged. As we get older, our social circles diminish, and we find ourselves with fewer and fewer people to turn to. Re-engage envision a world where no one is ever too old to make friends and enjoy social interaction, with a mission to work within communities to end social isolation and loneliness in older people. Re-Engage Tea Parties are a chance for an older person to meet someone new and reconnect with their community. Hosting a Tea Party is very simple. Guests are driven to the Host's home and provided with a cup of tea, maybe some baking, and a friendly conversation to help isolated people aged over 75. The only requirements are: you need to have space for around 8 people to sit, have a toilet on the same floor, and less than 3 steps into your home. Normally your tea party will last for about 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon, and take place a couple of times a year with the same attendees. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with your community and make someone's week a bit brighter while volunteering in your own home with to fit with your own schedule. If you think you could help host a local Tea Party for Older People then please enquire now!
