Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of the success of Scottish Love in Action. Volunteers help in so many ways including:

  • assisting staff to deliver large fundraising events, such as our annual Fireworks Extravaganza
  • Fundraising Ambassador – independently organising events in aid of Scottish Love in Action, and
  • utilising their professional expertise e.g. graphic design, and HR

We aim to be flexible, so you can fit volunteering around other commitments. Some volunteers help onsite e.g. in our office or at an event, while some volunteers help remotely.

We are always delighted to welcome new volunteers – please get in touch – enquiries@sla-india.org – if you or someone you know would like to volunteer with us.

In India, poor sanitation and hygiene translate into an estimated 1000 children under five years of age dying from diarrhoea every day
