Share your time and help make fundraising events a success with Sense Scotland!

Looking for a way to meet new people, gain event experience, and make a difference in your community?

From Ladies Lunches and Comedy Nights to Bake Sales and Sponsored Walks-our events are full of fun and fundraising, and you can be part of making them happen! Whether you're retired, between jobs, studying, or just keen to support a good cause, we'd love to welcome you as a Volunteer Events Assistant.

We're looking for people who can spare a few hours now and again to help at events or support with planning behind the scenes-we'll work around what suits you best.
Why Volunteer with Sense Scotland?

Every event you help with raises vital funds to support children and adults with complex needs across Scotland. Whether you're greeting guests, selling raffle tickets, or helping set up a venue, your time and energy will help create memorable experiences-and raise money for a brilliant cause.

No two events are the same, and you'll get to meet new people, have fun, and be part of something meaningful.

Depending on your interests, you might:
• Help set up and decorate event spaces
• Welcome guests and provide event information
• Sell raffle tickets or help with fundraising stalls
• Collect donations and encourage supporters
• Assist with planning tasks like admin or prepping event materials
• Help tidy and pack up after events

You'll be fully supported by our friendly Fundraising team, with all training provided.
Who We're Looking For

You don't need event or fundraising experience-just enthusiasm, reliability, and a positive attitude. If you're happy chatting to people, enjoy teamwork, and want to support a good cause, you'll fit right in.
What you'll get in return?
• A chance to help raise funds that make a real difference
• Experience in events and fundraising
• A welcoming, supportive team environment
• Confidence-building and new skills
• A Sense Scotland t-shirt (of course!)
