Who Cares Scotland
- VO104516
No matter how good our services are, we can't properly support our users/community well if we don't have good organisers in the team. If this sounds like you... we would love you to consider volunteering with us for a few hours per week.
Who Cares? Scotland is Scotland's only national independent membership organisation for Care Experienced people. Our strategic vision is to secure a lifetime of equality, respect and love for Care Experienced people in Scotland. At the heart of our work are the rights of Care Experienced people and the power their voices have to bring about change.
Can you help support young care experienced people in Clydebank.
The Champions Board meet every fortnight at the Y-Sort it base in Clydebank (5 West Thomson Street, Clydebank. G813EA). The group runs from 5.30pm-7pm. The group consist of 6/7 regular attendees aged between 11-21. We provide food and an activity or game at each session and talk about their experiences in care. The groups are planned roughly between 4-6 weeks in advance and at times, there will be asks from different organisations to do consultations with the group although notice should be given in advance. The main aim is to have fun and getting to know each other well enough to have these types of conversations and making it a safe space for the members and encouraging them to make change around care experience in West Dunbartonshire.
So whether you are looking to use your time well, update your skills or have the chance to do something a bit new, we can offer you a warm welcome and all of the support and help you could need.
We are seeing a rise in demand for our services everyday. Having your help will allow us to be there for the people who need us. Any time you can give will make a real difference.
