Somebody Cares Scotland is opening its doors to the community on June 6, hosting two volunteer open days designed to showcase the heart of their charitable work and welcome new volunteers from all walks of life.
The morning session runs from 10 AM to 12 PM at the Denmore Retail Shop, where interested individuals can meet staff and existing volunteers over light refreshments. This relaxed setting provides an ideal opportunity to learn about volunteering at the retail unit and understand the day-to-day operations that help support the charity's mission.
The afternoon continues from 1 PM to 3 PM at Somebody Cares' headquarters in Altens, the operational heart of the charity. Visitors will discover the charity's core activities, including the food bank and client services, with guided tours of the facilities providing insight into how volunteers make a real difference in the Aberdeen community.
"We encourage people to make a day of it and attend both the morning and afternoon open days to get a complete sense of what it's like to volunteer at Somebody Cares," said Yekemi Otaru, Chief Executive at Somebody Cares.
The charity welcomes volunteers from diverse backgrounds, whether students, recent graduates, retirees looking to give back, individuals with a few spare hours each week or month, or corporate groups seeking meaningful community engagement opportunities in the Aberdeen area.
With limited spaces available, those interested are encouraged to register quickly through the provided links to secure their place at these informative open days.
