Volunteer Group

Welcome to the Volunteer Fundraising homepage

Here you'll find information on all events being organised and run by Sense Scotland volunteer groups.

At the moment, we have two main volunteer groups - one in the Borders, and one in Glasgow. The volunteers give their time and hard work in order to raise vital funds for deafblind and disabled children and adults. Everyone at Sense Scotland is very grateful for their tremendous support.

Have a good look through the different events and please get involved if you can and support our volunteers by taking part.

Volunteering can be hugely rewarding and we are currently looking for new people to come on board and join the Glasgow volunteer group. We're also hoping to establish other groups across Scotland to run local events in support of Sense Scotland. Dundee and Inverness are two key key areas where we hope to start a volunteer group, but we'd love to establish groups anywhere in Scotland.

If you think you would like to join our events group, or think you could help set up a local group in your part of the country, contact Andy on 0141 429 0294.

Funways

Try Funways to challenge yourself and help children & adults who face challenges every day of their lives due to deafblindness, sensory-impairment, physical or learning disabilities.

Sense Scotland was established by parents of deafbind children in the 1970s and is still run by family members. We now work with over 1000 children, adults and their families throughout Scotland.

By supporting Sense Scotland you will help to fund some of our key services, such as:

Working with disabled children at the family resource centre to develop individual communication methods with each child and their family.

Supporting people to live independently in their own homes and providing new opportunities for some very remarkable young people.

Giving disabled children the opportunity to go on a specialist outdoor activity holiday, greatly benefiting their personal development and allowing their families much-needed respite.
