Volunteer in our Children's Contact Centres

Help us, help families

Volunteers are key to delivering our services in our Children's Contact Centres. They support the Child Contact Centre Organisers in their role to provide a neutral, welcoming, safe, child-focused environment and to facilitate contact between children and their non-residential parent or other family member.

This rewarding and challenging role can suit you if you would like to dedicate some of your time to helping families and children. Equally, if you are looking for some experience that will be useful in contributing to your studies or work in fields such as Childcare, Social Work, Family Law, Early Learning and Education or similar areas, this can be a great opportunity for you. Volunteers benefit from a training package and any expenses will be reimbursed.

• In Dundee the Centre is open on Thursdays & Saturdays
• In Arbroath, Perth, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, the Centres are open on Saturdays
