Do you like chatting to new people? We are looking for volunteers to engage with the public at the Springburn Community Hub and at events. We host a number of projects and events that require friendly and open volunteers to interact with the community.
Who are we?
Spirit of Springburn is a Community Development Trust working to empower the residents of Springburn to enact positive change in our community. At our core is the Community Hub in Springburn Shopping Centre, which hosts our Heritage Project, Community Food services, and offer signposting and advice. We also hold events regularly, from tea parties in the Shopping Centre, to the Springburn Community Street Festival. As a Spirit of Springburn volunteer, you’ll be part of a friendly, diverse and motivated team, dedicated to strengthening community.
Examples of tasks you might do:
Welcoming visitors into the hub.
Supporting service users at our Community Fridge.
Fundraising at our events.
Chatting to passers-by at our weekly heritage display.
Hours:
The Hub is open Monday to Friday 11am-3pm. Volunteers are here between 10am-3:30pm. Some volunteers come in every day, others just for a couple of hours a week. We ask volunteers to commit to a regular schedule.
