Community Events, Pop Ups and Fairs Volunteer West Lothian

Community Events, Pop Up and Fairs Volunteer – Fife, Scotland. We are a UK wide charity dedicated to calling time on the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people. Our mission is to promote safer ageing and build a fairer society for all older people. We deliver a range of support services — from prevention and early intervention through to direct support and recovery.

Our staff and volunteers play a vital role in raising awareness, engaging communities, and helping older people access the support they need.

This role supports our outreach, engagement and administrative work. Volunteers help us deliver community events, pop up information stands and awareness raising activities, while also carrying out essential administrative tasks that ensure our work is well organised, safe and effective. This includes using our CRM system for basic data entry, logging interactions, supporting event preparation, and helping the team stay connected with local communities in Fife, Scotland.

Volunteers represent the charity in public settings and may occasionally support or lead events independently once fully trained and only if they wish to opt in to this. A high level of reliability is essential, as community events depend on confirmed attendance and we may have paid a non refundable stall holder fee.
