Give a Dog a Bone are all about Companionship in the Community - through offering a safe space for retired people to make new friends, learn new skills and mix with dogs.
Give a Dog a Bone are all about Companionship in the Community – they offer a safe space for retired people to make new friends, learn new skills and mix with dogs! Can you support them by helping in their Alloa Community Space? Are you confident and friendly with good listening skills? Are you dependable and trustworthy? A real team player who can ‘think on your feet’? Do you make a mean cuppa? If yes, to the above and you can spare 3 to 4 hours a few times a month then we might just have the perfect opportunity for you (and your well-behaved dog too, if you have one!)
Volunteers can expect to be:
- Welcoming visitors and their dogs to the Community Space, engaging with them and make them feel at ease.
- Confidently and accurately promoting the aims and objectives of the charity.
- Maintaining high levels of cleanliness and tidiness at all times, ensuring that the Community Space presents no risks to visitors, dogs, staff or volunteers.
- Dealing with any donations handed via the Community Space for the charity as instructed by the Management Team.
- To attend any additional training necessary for the volunteer role.
Benefits of the role include:
- Full training will be provided – in your local community space with a member of staff or experienced volunteer. It is a hands-on role and you will be well supported throughout.
- Increased confidence and sense of purpose.
- Meeting new people and building new relationships.
- Giving something back within your local community.
- If you have a well-behaved dog, they can volunteer with you as a Companionship Dog!
- It’s a win/win!
The volunteer can expect to be given a named contact within the charity to help and support you and your dog throughout your volunteer journey!
