Volunteering

People who volunteer come from all walks of life, you are never too old or too young to get involved.

Working as a volunteer can be fun and help you meet new people and make new friends. Volunteering can be a great way to learn new skills, get involved in your community and give you the satisfaction of contributing towards it.

Did you know?

Volunteering has been proven to benefit the health of the volunteer and is not just of benefit to the recipient. Volunteering is a great way to keep active and research in America has shown a link between volunteering and a longer life.

There are hundreds of different opportunities to volunteer in the Western Isles. Gardening, driving, providing administrative support, being a be-friender, helping at a youth club or working in a shop are just a few.

Volunteers are not a substitute for paid workers. However, many organisations depend on volunteers to deliver their services and complement their work.

The Volunteer Centre Western Isles can help you find an opportunity to volunteer that’s right for you.
