Volunteering for Outfit Moray
Our volunteers are a crucial part of our organisation and enable us to continue changing the lives of young people in Moray. We have a large variety of roles available for both adults and young people, from driving to fundraising and even baking! (under 18’s must complete this initial enquiry form)
Saltire Awards (Young Volunteers)
As Saltire Awards Group Administrators, Outfit Moray offer volunteering opportunities ranging from fundraising or helping out after school on Friday afternoons to assisting on outdoor adventures and residentials (for DofE Gold). Young volunteers will receive nationally recognised certificates celebrating their logged hours.
Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme (Young Volunteers)
We can offer volunteering opportunities for young people taking part in DofE Award scheme, including outdoor adventure and residentials (PVG req for over 16’s), as well as in-house volunteering on Friday afternoons for those doing their Bronze Award.
Staff and Volunteer Training
Outfit Moray has a Training and Development policy to help guide staff and volunteers to create their personal development plan. Volunteers can take part in training sessions and gain personal achievement awards as well as instructing and leadership qualifications.
Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service
In November 2010, Outfit Moray were honoured to receive The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service from Princess Anne. The Queen’s Award is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK to recognise outstanding work done in their own communities. It was created in 2002 to celebrate the anniversary of The Queen’s coronation and is described as the MBE for volunteer groups.
Volunteer Friendly Award
In March 2020, we were delighted to have qualified for the Volunteer Friendly Award and are very grateful to tsiMORAY for all their support in achieving it. Our volunteers play a crucial role at Outfit Moray, Bike Revolution and Cairngorm to Coast and we are always hugely thankful for their time, commitment and dedication.
Young Person’s Guarantee
We have been supporting young people into employment through our trainee and volunteer programme for years now, so were delighted to sign up to The Young Person’s Guarantee in September 2023.
The YPG brings employers, partners and young people together to help connect every 16 to 24 year old in Scotland to a job, apprenticeship, further or higher education, training or volunteering opportunity and we’re proud to be part of the scheme.
Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme
It is a legal requirement for anyone over the age of 16 carrying out regulated roles with children or protected adults to become a member of the Scottish Government’s PVG scheme. As a result, Outfit Moray are required to carry out PVG checks for all staff and volunteers over 16 years of age BEFORE they are able to volunteer on any group activity, or as a first aider. For more information on what is required, please email us.
Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme
We are proud to have signed up to the The Armed Forces Covenant and pledge to support the armed forces, including existing or prospective employees who are members of our community.
