About Go Volunteer Dundee

Go Volunteer Dundee is a platform to connect volunteers to opportunities, and organisations to volunteers. Volunteers can access free training. This is your space to connect, get involved, and make a real difference for children and families in Dundee.

This is a partnership project led by DVVA and funded by the Whole Family Wellbeing Fund, focused on transforming family support through strengthening volunteering frameworks across children and families services.

Children and Families services are committed to giving children, young people, and families in Dundee the best opportunities available to them. This space gives volunteers the opportunity to join this commitment to help children and families achieve their potential, making sure the right support is there at the right time, whilst safeguarding them from potential risk and harm.

There are a wide range of children and families services in Dundee offering an array of support and volunteering opportunities from group work, play activities, mentoring, advice and guidance, family sessions and more.

Aberlour is actively seeking to speak to volunteers for Male Befrienders

We are particularly looking to engage men who may be interested in making a positive difference in a young person’s life. At this time, because of feedback from the young people we support, we are particularly keen to hear from potential male volunteers; and whilst we are happy to accept applications from males and females of all ages we are keen to hear from potential volunteers in their 20s or 30s as our young people are often looking to share activities and experiences with people within this age range. It may also be useful, though not essential, if a potential volunteer has access to a car as some travel may be involved. If you are a member of any group and you think this would be of interest then Aberlour would love to come along and connect, to tell you more about the work we do and the difference you would make for a young person. Just now we have seen a real shortage of male befrienders and we know how crucial the volunteer work is to help a young person. As a volunteer befriender you would be matched with a child, who you would spend regular time with on a 1:1 basis, building a trusting relationship and having fun. You would take part in activities that a child enjoys such as playing football/going to the park or to introduce them to new activities or hobbies that they may not have the opportunity to take part in normally. Please check out our opportunity on this site.
