Volunteering Opportunities

Are you passionate about our NHS? Do you want to find a way to give something back to your local community and your local NHS? We have a super opportunity for you to become an NHS Lothian Charity Rep. What’s involved?

We are looking for fun energetic people to become our NHS Lothian Charity Reps. You will play an important role in elevating our fundraising events! How? By cheering our supporters on when they are taking part in a big challenge like a run, or helping us at our events by staffing our charity stands at hospitals to raise awareness or at a fundraising dinner where you could help collect raffle tickets. By gifting us a few hours of your time, you’ll help us make our events and activities run smoothly and make sure those supporting us have the best time. You can choose what activity you would like to take part in and when, it is completely flexible. Check out the the upcoming opportunity below:
