Moray CAB provides information and advice to the community of Moray on a wide variety of issues such as benefits, housing, employment and consumer issues. Advice is provided face-to-face or by telephone so we are looking for people who can listen and be non-judgmental.
Volunteer advisers interview clients, search our information system for relevant information and explain this to clients. As an adviser you may also provide practical advice such as completing forms, writing letters and contacting other agencies. Volunteer advisers also make a record of the advice given and actions taken.
This winter is going to be a very busy one for REAP's energy advisors.
They'll be visiting communities across Moray giving energy advice and helping people find practical ways to cope with the rising costs of energy.
Could you help this team?
A few volunteers are needed to provide a wee bit of practical logistical support to the Energy team during outreach events or workshops. An extra pair of hands, for example, to help up and set down a gazebo, distribute flyers, and perhaps most importantly, practically support the Energy adviser with any small operational tasks that will help the event run as smoothly as possible.
Times are flexible and you don't need to commit to every event... If you'd like to find out more, please just get in touch.
