We are also passionate about enabling and supporting long term volunteers to create projects and activities which they would like to organise. If this is something you are interested in we can offer you the opportunity to transform ideas for community projects and events into reality.

​

We believe that volunteers contribute so much to our organisation and we are committed to supporting them to gain experience and additional skills. We can help to signpost volunteers to specialist guidance around developing a CV or other employment advice.

​

Please note that ScrapAntics are committed to providing a safe environment for vulnerable members of the community. Volunteers will be required to give the necessary personal information in order that a Disclosure Scotland check can be completed.
