VOLUNTEER

A centre built on the foundations of Volunteering!

Volunteer with us and make a huge difference!

Volunteering is a two way beneficial act. By giving up your most precious asset, your time, you are making a direct difference in our community and to the lives of others. Equally you are gaining many new experiences, skills and friends along the way that can give you the feel good factor, help with your CV for jobs and gain references from us, and give you the experience often necessary to further your career.

Our centre relies heavily on

volunteers- recognised by her

Majesty the Queen

Like all leased centre's in the city, Inchgarth relies on the good will of members, users, and the public to give up their time to assist in the many tasks associated with running a busy community hub. In October 2017, Inchgarth was recognised by her Majesty the Queen via the highest award an organisation can gain in the UK, via the Queens award for voluntary service- which is an MBE for Inchgarth.

Volunteering is a two way benefit, by volunteering you are making a huge difference to the lives of others but equally gaining new skills, experiences, references and friends.

Young volunteers

Inchgarth offers volunteering opportunities for young people of secondary age upwards. This can be via the school placement office, students at college or university, those involved with schemes such as the Prince's trust and the Duke of Edinburgh, or you may simply wish to give something back.

There are loads of opportunities and even better- YOU GAIN recognition and a certificate signed by the Scottish first minister as part of the SALTIRE AWARDS. https://saltireawards.org.uk
