Low Moss Family Visitor Centre Volunteer

The Family Visitor Centre at HMP Low Moss is a place for families and friends to relax before their visit and to access independent and impartial advice and information to support prisoners’ families.

We have created and introduced a Tea Bar area in the Family Visitor Centre, where families can enjoy a free hot cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit, helping them to unwind after their long journey.

There is a safe play area for children where they have toys, books, and a creative play area where Early Years Scotland staff deliver a range of activities. There is also now a chill zone for slightly older children/teens.


What’s involved in the volunteering role?
• Providing a warm, friendly welcome to all visitors
• Helping with the running of the tea bar area serving coffee and tea
• Being a friendly, welcoming face supporting visitors to relax and destress before the visit.
• Directing visitors to EYS workers who can help with any queries


What’s in it for me?
• Becoming part of a supportive and dedicated team
• Meeting people and making new friends
• Improving communication skills
• Enjoying new experiences
• Great personal satisfaction, since you have the opportunity to make a real, positive difference to our visitors’ experience.


This role will suit people who have a friendly and enthusiastic manner, enjoy meeting and working with families and would be happy and proud to be the face of Early Years Scotland.
