Attendees are welcome to drop-in throughout the volunteers’ open day from 12.00pm - 2.00pm. Clan team members will be on hand to share more about the charity’s work and highlight current volunteering opportunities in the local community.
Karen Farquhar, Clan’s Orkney area services coordinator, said:
You don’t need to be a cancer expert to be a volunteer with Clan. You do need to be a good listener and willing and give your time. In return, you’ll receive full training and the opportunity to play and important role in your local community.
Volunteering benefits both Clan and its volunteers. It plays a vital role in enabling us to run our services, while also giving people the chance to gain valuable experience, build friendships and develop new skills.
Karen added:
As part of our Volunteers Week events across our centres, we’d encourage anyone who is interested to come along, find out more, and see how they could get involved with Clan in their local area.
You can find information about the volunteer roles CLAN is looking for help with in our Volunteering Opportunities section:
