VOLUNTEER WITH US

At the Falkirk Foundation we offer opportunities to volunteer across our wide range of programmes. We are so proud of the many volunteers that support the delivery of all our programmes, after all we do have 100 volunteers! The opportunities are primarily all based in our community coaching programmes, however there may also be practical or admin based opportunities also.

We ask that any individual interested in such an opportunity has a willingness to learn and develop themselves, and that they also have an openness to work with children. We appreciate that volunteers come to us without perhaps any experience or previous knowledge of this line of work, which is why we work closely with them to build their confidence within the role, and enhance their skillset to become knowledgeable and qualified to support the delivery of our programmes.
