Primary School Volunteer

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages and supports people aged 50+ to volunteer in their local communities. Across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire we run 5 projects involving hundreds of volunteers. These include volunteering activities within local hospitals and primary schools, charitable knitting groups, a walking group for older people, and a community Handyperson Service.

We are currently looking for people who are interested in volunteering within primary schools, in the Stirling Council area.

The volunteering hours are fully flexible and we will be able to work around your availability. If you are passionate about volunteering and would like to help us support other volunteers, we would love to hear from you!


Volunteers support primary schools in various ways. This includes supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups. Our volunteers help children with their confidence, social skills, reading, numbers, arts and crafts music, and much more. Having an older role model in the classroom can aid children’s progress in school. The activities that you carry out are flexible and can be agreed between yourself and the school.
