Volunteer with us!
Volunteers help us deliver the highest quality support to the children and families who come to Craighalbert. Whether assisting with events, supporting activities, helping maintain our grounds, or offering time and skills behind the scenes, our volunteers are an important part of our team. Their generosity, energy, and commitment help us go further and do more than we could alone.
We are incredibly grateful for everything our volunteers do, and we are always looking for new people to get involved.
Whether you have a few hours to spare or are looking for a regular volunteering opportunity, we would love to hear from you.
