Clan looking for volunteers in Mintlaw to support people impacted by cancer.
Leading north-east cancer charity, Clan Cancer Support is hosting a volunteering open day in Mintlaw next month (Tuesday, June 3) to encourage individuals to use their free time to support local people impacted by cancer.
The charity is currently seeking volunteers to offer its vital listening and support service which enables people impacted by a diagnosis to speak to someone about their cancer journey.
No experience is required with all training provided by the charity. Clan recommends that volunteers commit to a minimum of three and a half hours per week.
The volunteers’ open day will take place next on Tuesday, June 3, from 12-2pm at Clan’s Mintlaw wellbeing centre based at MACBI Community Hub on Newlands Road, Mintlaw.
Attendees are welcome to drop in throughout the event with Clan team members on hand to advise anyone interested in applying.
Pamela Fenton, Clan’s volunteer coordinator, said: “You don’t need to be a cancer expert to be a volunteer with Clan. You do need to be a good listener and to give your time. In return you’ll get training and the opportunity to play an important role in your local cancer support charity.
“The benefits of volunteering can be felt by the charity and the volunteer. Volunteering can provide work experience, new friendships and the opportunity to develop new skills which can enrich your working and personal life.”
There are further opportunities for volunteers to get involved in The BookBench Trail with the charity looking for people in Peterhead to care for the public artwork featured in the sculpture trail this summer.
The BookBench Trail will go live across the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland from June 30, with 41 large BookBench sculptures being displayed in locations across Clan’s geography.
Pamela added: “We’d urge anyone who is interested in getting involved to come along to our open day at MACBI Community Hub where they can find out more about the charity and the opportunities available.”
