Volunteers play an essential role in keeping our clubs thriving across Scotland and without their dedication to older people we simply wouldn’t be able to run our community clubs. We have a variety of roles available and here’s a brief taster of what you can help us to do: · Club sessions are held once a week so are ideal if you would like a regular volunteering opportunity · Our volunteers love talking about their favourite teams, sporting greats or special sporting moments and engaging members to share their stories · Volunteering is an opportunity to engage with people of all ages and backgrounds, especially older people – many of whom will be living with a condition such as dementia or low mood · Our volunteers learn new and unique skills, through attending training sessions and while volunteering · You will work as part of a small team – a great opportunity to meet and get to know new people
