Our aim is to provide clear and accurate information that will help volunteers and volunteer involving organisations during coronavirus.
Whether it's practical or emotional support, there are lots of ways you can volunteer to help. For some that may be right now in helping to manage the crisis, for others there will be roles in the weeks and months to come.
Our aim is to support these developments by providing both organisations and members of the public wishing to volunteer with safe and practical advice and guidance; our main task is to minimise the spread of coronavirus and keep volunteers safe.
Contact us via email on covid19@volunteerscotland.org.uk if you have any further questions.
