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

This is a regulated role with children and/or vulnerable adults. Successful applicants will be required to obtain membership of the PVG Scheme (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) in accordance with the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020.
