Do you have a talent or passion you'd love to share? Whether it's football, gardening, photography, painting, music, baking, mechanics, crafts – or any other skill – you could make a lasting difference in a child or young person's life.
Aberlour is looking for kind, patient, and enthusiastic volunteers to join our services. This is a rewarding opportunity to spend time with a young person or child who would benefit from extra support, encouragement, and someone who cares.
What’s Involved:
- Share your hobby, sport, or special interest on a regular basis as part of a group, or 1:1 with a young person
- Build a positive, trusted relationship over time
- Help build confidence, self-esteem and new skills
- Be a consistent, reliable presence in a child’s life
Who You’ll Support:
You’ll spend time sharing your skill in a group setting, or you could be matched with a child or young person who would benefit from friendship, new experiences, and encouragement from an adult outside of their family or school life.
What We’re Looking For:
- A skill or hobby you can share (anything from gardening to games, art to sport)
- A friendly, reliable, and patient personality
- Commitment to spending regular time (a few hours a week or fortnight)
- No formal experience needed – just your time and willingness to make a difference
Why Volunteer?
- Make a real and lasting difference in a young person’s life
- Gain experience, confidence and fulfilment
- Be part of a supportive community of volunteers
- Full training and ongoing support provided by Aberlour
