ARCHIE Volunteer Responder

ARCHIE Child Bereavement Service (part of the ARCHIE Foundation charity) provide direct support to bereaved children and young people throughout Tayside

Key objectives of our Volunteers are: To support the work of ACBS through contributing to the range of services provided. To make a positive difference to the lives of the children, young people and their families who have been affected by bereavement

Due to an increased demand in our service we are seeking volunteers in a variety of areas including responders to visit bereaved families.


Our responder service entails people visiting bereaved families and undertaking direct support work with children and young people and their families. We also run event days for children staffed up by our volunteers. We are particularly keen to recruit a volunteer with a financial or accounts background to take on our treasurer role.


Excellent support and training is provided to all volunteers e.g.: induction includes self awareness, policy and procedures of charity. Training in child protection and bereavement support. Support from coordinator and board of trustees.


All help makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. For more details please contact: Malcolm Stewart, Bereavement Services Manager on 01224 551747 or malcolm.stewart@archie.org .
