Volunteering details

We have an exciting opportunity to make a real difference while soaking up the festive atmosphere at Davidson's Mains Christmas Light Switch On! Join us to help run a stall with craft items, Christmas cards, and more!

You'll be collecting cash and contactless donations to support the our work at CHAS, helping children with life-shortening conditions and their families across the country.

Please note there may not be a staff member present and you may be the sole volunteer at this event.

This is a one-off opportunity, so there’s no ongoing commitment – just a chance to get involved, have fun, and support a great cause.

What you will be doing

• Anything from cheering on runners and walkers at events like the Edinburgh Marathon or one of the Kiltwalks


• Taking on a short shift at a community stall to raise awareness


• Shaking a bucket at a public collection


• Helping out at a pop-up shop

What's in it for you

• Being part of the team of CHAS staff and volunteers raising awareness and funds – in lots of different ways - to provide unwavering care to the families of children with a life-shortening condition.


• Meeting new people


• Having fun!

Experience required

Just bring along your energy and enthusiasm, a friendly and outgoing personality and willingness to work within a team of other volunteers.
