e.g. Greentrees Public Hall is based in Perth. We provide and maintain an affordable venue, which the local community uses for a variety of social and recreational purposes, including exercise classes, meeting space, and music and drama productions.
e.g. Paws for Pets is a rescue and re-homing charity based in Fife. Our mission is to find suitable loving homes for abandoned and unwanted pets and to promote responsible pet ownership through education and training.
e.g. Wind in the Willows Playgroup provides affordable, flexible childcare for families with children aged between 1-5 years in Prestonpans, East Lothian.
e.g. I'm a student currently studying Communications and Marketing in Edinburgh. I volunteer for my local Citizens Advice Bureau and I'm interested in finding out more about career options in the voluntary sector.
