Become a Volunteer and Make a Real Difference Across Scotland

Are you passionate about supporting others? We’re looking for compassionate volunteers to help those who have experienced the loss of a loved one across Scotland.

Whether you're a student, a working professional, or balancing family life, we offer flexible volunteer roles designed to fit around your schedule.

As a volunteer, you’ll receive:

  • Full training and a warm welcome into our community
  • Ongoing CPD opportunities to support your growth
  • Encouragement and support from our dedicated local teams

You’ll be joining a family of committed volunteers who bring hope and comfort when it’s needed most.

We couldn’t do this work without people like you.
If you have a heart for helping others, we would love to hear from you.
