Volunteering
Case Study: Isobel Kirkwood, Volunteer
Isobel volunteers with Erskine, helping the fundraising team and the schools' programme.
Volunteer with Erskine and be part of the team caring in the widest possible way for ex-Service men and women.
You could be part of an organisation that makes a real difference to many people’s lives each year. We need people from all over the country, whatever your age, whether you’re studying, employed or retired. A few hours a week can make a difference not only to the lives of the people we support, but to your life too.
Find a volunteer opportunity that suits you
What’s in it for you?
Volunteering can enhance your life and aid personal development. If you’re working towards an award, such as Duke of Edinburgh or Queens Badge, we’re happy to support you.
Volunteer for Erskine and you can:
- Gain new experiences and learn new skills – and make use of your existing skills
- Build confidence and self-esteem – when you try something new and meet new people
- Be valued, appreciated and useful – and feel a real sense of achievement
- Do something of special or personal interest – while you make a real difference in the community
You can add value to Erskine
Volunteers add value to Erskine’s work by supplementing the work of our staff. You can enrich the lives of the people we support by bringing:
- Specialist skills and knowledge
- New ideas and enthusiasm
- The ability to focus on achieving a particular outcome for someone we support
- Immediate access to the wider community
How volunteering works
As an Erskine volunteer you’ll receive training, which will help you understand how we work and any details specific to your role.
