Put your skills to use, learn new ones and play an active role in your local community. Volunteering is easier than you think, with full support and training, you can volunteer on a flexible basis. Give young people the skills to succeed in life and discover how being part of the Scouting family can be rewarding for you as it is to them.

North Angus & District Scouts require a wide range of volunteer roles - from casual helpers to leaders, trainers, trustees and more – we have a role for everyone. We also offer flexible volunteering roles too, so we can fit around you and the time that you want to give to Scouting. We have 8 groups in North Angus, but 2 are more desperate for help. These are our Letham and Edzell Groups. What do volunteers do? Week by week, our volunteers empower thousands of young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They’re our everyday heroes. They shape young people’s lives for the better, and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too. Today, there are nearly 60,000 young people on waiting lists to join us in the UK. We’re more relevant and more needed than ever, but it’s not always easy to keep up with the demand. That’s where you come in You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about minibus drivers and first aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family. Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread a group of very hungry eleven-year-olds - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great. We provide the training. All of our adult volunteers receive full induction and ongoing training and support. Our training has been recognised with a National Training Award by UK Skills and over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life. As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is. To find out more, please contact Ian Fleming, District Commissioner, North Angus District Scout Council on dc@northangus.onmicrosoft.com

As a small charity we rely on the help of the many volunteers who give their time and their talents to us freely. We always need dedicated and reliable volunteers that can help out and new volunteers are always welcome. Our main volunteering opportunity involves working directly with our animals, helping with feeding, walking and general kennel care. New volunteers start off by ‘buddying up’ with other current volunteers, who can show them their usual routines per rota slot with a view to eventually working independently. There are 3 daily slots - Morning, Lunch & Teatime and slots can be chosen based on personal availability. Volunteering not only benefits our animals but also provides lots of benefits for our volunteers too including: - Meeting like-minded people who are passionate about animal welfare - Gaining new skills or developing existing ones - Gaining a sense of achievement by doing something rewarding - Putting something back into the community - Developing personal skills and confidence Please note, we rescue dogs of various sizes and on occasion, some of our animals can have certain struggles which we will try to help them with while they’re with us before rehoming. Initial confidence around dogs would be ideal, however working together with a buddy and meeting all the different dogs can help develop this. You need to be aged 18 or over & have easy & regular access to Facebook so you can get added to our private group, where the weekly rota gets shared, along with many other discussions/notices regarding the animals for various reasons eg. health/feeding/ temporary practice changes etc. Under 18's may be able to volunteer, provided they are accompanied by an adult. Please note that if you wish to volunteer at the centre, it does involve physical work and due to our location your own transport is essential. You will need to complete a volunteer application form where we ask for a reference and return via email to arcarbroath@outlook.com. You will then be invited out for a small tour of the centre & a brief demonstration of what happens at a suitable time. After a period of time helping out in the kennels, there may be opportunities to volunteer in other roles within the charity.

Volunteers would ideally provide back-up and support to our lead chamber operators. Full training would take place on the premises. As some of our members require assistance in and out of the oxygen chamber, would ask that you are physically fit. Ideally volunteer sessions would last 2-3 hours, once a week. The chamber seats 8 people at one time.
