Benefits of volunteering

Whether volunteering in our reception, lending a hand at fundraising events, supporting one of our services or meeting with fellow carers – we’ll help find the right role for you!

Volunteers play an important role in ensuring that we can support more carers. Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds, and contribute across VOCAL in a variety of roles.

  • You will be given a full training induction, as well as ongoing training and support from your appointed line manager.
  • You’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills and gain experience.
  • We host regular social events, helping you connect with other volunteers and colleagues.
  • We will work with you to ensure you get the most from your role by exploring your talents and strengths!
  • You will be volunteering as part of our established volunteer team, helping support unpaid carers in Edinburgh and Midlothian.
