Volunteers
We provide a reactive service that aids people by offering trained volunteers to assist with practical tasks over a time limited period. Our team of Community Taskforce Volunteers are ready and willing to help!
Anyone can ask for help whether friend, neighbour, relative or any professional. We will consider any request within Edinburgh and if we can’t help we will point you in the direction of an organisation that may be able to help. We offer a prompt unique service at all times.
