Do you have a talent or passion you’d love to share?
Whether you're into sports, crafts, music, dance, yoga, breathwork, gardening, art, Pilates – or something totally unique – we’d love to hear from you!
At Aberlour, we’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic, and patient volunteers to bring energy, creativity, and inspiration to the people we support – from children and young people to parents and families.
This is a brilliant opportunity to make a difference while doing something you love.
What’s Involved:
· Help run activities – or support staff in delivering activities (e.g. sport, craft, music, games, yoga)
· Share your own skills and hobbies in a fun, engaging way
· Encourage young people, parents or families to take part, try new things and work together
· Be a positive, reliable role model in a safe, supportive setting
What We’re Looking For:
· A skill, hobby or interest you can share – anything from music to mechanics, football to photography
· A friendly, patient and approachable personality
· A willingness to get involved, have fun and encourage participation
· Commitment to supporting youth clubs regularly (weekly or fortnightly)
· No formal experience needed – just your enthusiasm and time
Why Volunteer?
· Make a real difference in young people’s lives by giving them opportunities to learn and enjoy new experiences
· Gain experience, confidence and new skills yourself
· Be part of a welcoming team of staff and volunteers
· Receive full training and ongoing support from Aberlour
