Volunteering Opportunities
As a voluntary organisation, from time to time we have opportunities for people to join us on a voluntary basis. This can either be done directly or through one of the volunteer agencies in Edinburgh and The Lothians. Below are a couple of roles that volunteers undertake with us.
Campus Cafe Assistant
We promote volunteering within two main areas within the centre; Campus Café is open to both the users and the passing public from 9.30am-2pm (Monday-Saturday term time) serving tasty, healthy food, treats and snacks. We have volunteers helping with food preparation, baking, clearing tables and generally keeping the café area tidy.
We ask that volunteers dealing in food preparation attend a Food & Hygiene course to gain certification .
Gardening Squad
Further volunteering positions are within our Loanhead Community Garden with two main groups and individual opportunities, duties include; helping to maintain the different zones, looking after the fruit and vegetables, watering and weeding.
- Wednesday Adults 11am-1pm
- Friday Garden Gang (children P5-P7) 1.30-3pm
Adult volunteers must undertake a disclosure to work with the children. We have allowances if you wish to drop in and work on your own.
