Volunteering

Are you looking to be involved with something new this year? Have you thought about volunteering or helping out in a local community group?

Volunteering is giving some of your time unpaid to help an individual or group.

Organised volunteering usually takes place through a charity or other not-for-profit or community organisation.

Within West Edinburgh there are many opportunities available for people to offer their time to help their local community.

Volunteering:

  • is a great way to meet new people and strengthen your ties to the community
  • can be rewarding and enjoyable
  • can be good for your mental health and wellbeing
  • gives you the opportunity to practise and develop skills
