Community Fundraiser

We have a wide range of home, online and digital volunteering opportunities available. Please contact us at info@volunteercentrewi.org if you would like to volunteer in one of these roles. This list will be updated regularly.

Please note that opportunities to volunteer for voluntary organisations and public services are limited at this time.

Community fundraising volunteers can take part in a wide range of activities, across the year, to raise vital funds for Bipolar Scotland. These funds enable us to continue delivering our award‑winning services and move closer to our vision: a good life for everyone in Scotland who lives with bipolar. By joining us, you’ll be part of a member‑led, collaborative charity where lived experience, equality, rights, and peer support guide everything we do.
Community fundraising comes in all shapes and sizes and you’ll have the freedom to get creative and make the role your own. From sponsored walks and bake sales, catching people on the move – whether at the airport, high street, or shopping centre – giving them the chance to make a difference, to the Kiltwalk or even a skydive – the beauty of this role is that it can be whatever you want it to be.

What can I gain from volunteering with Bipolar Scotland?

• Experience in organising and taking part in a variety of fundraising activities.
• Flexible volunteering to fit around your schedule and interests.
• Full support and resources from our team to help make your fundraising a success.
• Opportunities to develop skills in communication, teamwork, and event planning.
• A chance to make a real difference to the lives of people across Scotland living with or affected by bipolar.
