Lots of interesting courses available and open to volunteers within this newsletter The Health Improvement service offers a range of training courses aimed at building practical knowledge and skills on topics including mental health and wellbeing, alcohol and drug use, physical activity, workplace health, tobacco, screening, sexual health and financial inclusion. All workshops are free to attend and open to anyone from any sector who is working or volunteering in Tayside.

We are particularly looking to engage men who may be interested in making a positive difference in a young person’s life. At this time, because of feedback from the young people we support, we are particularly keen to hear from potential male volunteers; and whilst we are happy to accept applications from males and females of all ages we are keen to hear from potential volunteers in their 20s or 30s as our young people are often looking to share activities and experiences with people within this age range. It may also be useful, though not essential, if a potential volunteer has access to a car as some travel may be involved. If you are a member of any group and you think this would be of interest then Aberlour would love to come along and connect, to tell you more about the work we do and the difference you would make for a young person. Just now we have seen a real shortage of male befrienders and we know how crucial the volunteer work is to help a young person. As a volunteer befriender you would be matched with a child, who you would spend regular time with on a 1:1 basis, building a trusting relationship and having fun. You would take part in activities that a child enjoys such as playing football/going to the park or to introduce them to new activities or hobbies that they may not have the opportunity to take part in normally.
