Share Your Skill – Change a Life
Volunteer with Aberlour

Do you have a talent or passion you'd love to share? Whether it's football, gardening, photography, painting, music, baking, mechanics, crafts – or any other skill – you could make a lasting difference in a child or young person's life.
Aberlour is looking for kind, patient, and enthusiastic volunteers to join our services. This is a rewarding opportunity to spend time with a young person or child who would benefit from extra support, encouragement, and someone who cares.

What’s Involved:
• Share your hobby, sport, or special interest on a regular basis as part of a group, or 1:1 with a young person
• Build a positive, trusted relationship over time
• Help build confidence, self-esteem and new skills
• Be a consistent, reliable presence in a child’s life


Who You’ll Support:
You’ll spend time sharing your skill in a group setting, or you could be matched with a child or young person who would benefit from friendship, new experiences, and encouragement from an adult outside of their family or school life.


Why Volunteer?
• Make a real and lasting difference in a young person’s life
• Gain experience, confidence and fulfilment
• Be part of a supportive community of volunteers
• Full training and ongoing support provided by Aberlour


Every skill has the power to inspire. Every moment shared can be meaningful.
