Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community, explore the city and support a local child or young person.

We are always appealing for kind, caring and reliable people to bring positivity, and new experiences to a young person’s life. All we need is a few hours of your time once a week or twice a month for a minimum commitment of a year after training.

We are currently urgently appealing to individuals living in;

Stonehaven and Portlethen
Westhill, Banchory and Drumoak
Inverurie, Kemnay and Old Meldrum
Newmachar, Ellon and Newburgh

If you do live in Aberdeen city or any area not stated above, please do still apply to volunteer as we will be able to match you with one of our 50 children currently on our waitlist!
