Care is offering a series of new volunteer placements for young people in our communities. Placements will be in youth


work, sport, animal care, social media and fundraising, among other things. They are for young people aged 16-30, who can commit to 20-30 hours per week for three months, and are able to


travel to Glasgow. It’s a great chance to increase


your skills, improve your CV, meet new people – and even land your dream job. There will be lots of support


available for volunteers, including a mentor and workshops on interview skills. There will also be help to


write a CV. If you’re claiming benefits,


they won’t be affected. You’ll also get travel expenses. If you’re interested, or you


know someone who is, call 0141 274 5909 or email emma.hanlonlorettoha.co.uk
