There are various volunteering opportunities available within North Ayrshire.

Please browse the selection below to find a suitable volunteering opportunity in your local area:

No-one Dies Alone Ayrshire

They are looking for more compassionate companions for their face-to-face vigiling service, to sit with people who are dying and alone. Companions will be trained and fully supported through peer support and regular companion support groups. A PVG check will be required. There is no other care involved.

Experience required

Companions must be compassionate and able to listen. Self-care is also an important prerequisite for our training.

Each companion will make their own way to the support location, so own transport would be ideal.

Support

We provide training on volunteering and what to expect at the end of life.

Restrictions

Volunteers aged 18-25 taking part in this opportunity are eligible to claim Saltire Awards hours for their activity. Find out more
