CFINE

Looking for something to do with your free time? Looking to meet new people and learn new skills? Come and volunteer with the CFINE Pantry Team, we have lots of different roles that may suit you!

Support local food co-ops and bring fresh fruit to schools. CFINE is dedicated to improving health, well-being, and the environment. We tackle poverty and build resilience through a range of support services for disadvantaged, vulnerable, and low-income individuals, families, and communities in North East Scotland.

Volunteers are always welcome at CFINE and we can offer a range of opportunities tailored to suit each individual. Volunteering is about giving - time, ideas, experience, expertise - but it is also about receiving. For example, you will grow in confidence, learn new skills, meet people and can develop social networks and you will feel good contributing to your community, to tackling vulnerability and disadvantage.

We would like volunteers to provide horticulture support to the Tullos Community Garden project. This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of a community garden that has been up and running for almost 5 years.

CFINE and Earth & Worms Community Garden (E&W) are working together to expand community composting in Aberdeen. We'd like to continue building our lovely volunteer bases, and install some new features in the E&W garden that will enable us to branch out into new activities.

Our Support For Learning volunteers work together with course tutors during the sessions to: prep and for the sessions and pack down afterwards; supporting course participants to carry out activities; supporting course participants with paperwork and writing where appropriate, and; sometimes some additional tasks (e.g. collecting refreshments for the sessions) are helpful as well.
