Reach currently offers a wide range of interesting volunteering opportunities throughout Scotland. These include one-off projects and regular commitments, some involving office hours and others involving time in the evenings or at weekends. We will match volunteers to the organisations that need their skills.
Contact your nearest regional manager, (see above) who will be delighted to talk to you about finding the right volunteering role in the region and help you give some time to a worthwhile cause, not too far from where you live.
