For the Attention of Volunteer Co-ordinators/Managers in Edinburgh

Countdown to 'Thrifty Thursday' Fundraising Event

Customer Satisfaction Survey 2025

The role of Edinburgh's Third Sector Interface Partnership is to connect and support the amazing charities, community groups, social enterprises, and volunteers that make our city thrive. As a partnership we work together to support you, our stakeholders, with a range of services. But, are these services what you need and want? And, are they any good or do we need to do better? We recently put out a short survey to understand how we can serve you better.

How are we are doing?

Being a Trustee

For Trustees' Week this year which takes place in the first week of November we asked some trustees about their role as a volunteer on the board of a charitable organisation.

Trustee	Befriender	Family Befriender	Connections Volunteer Mentor	Adult Supportive Transport Driver	Activity Buddy
Pilton Equalities Project are recruiting for Trustees now! Help create a thriving community in North Edinburgh. We welcome people from all backgrounds and life experiences. Most important is a willingness to take part in discussions, think creatively, work as a team and help make informed decisions to ensure PEP’s continued success.	Space at Youth Befriending provides one-to-one befriending for children and young people aged 5-16 though supporting them to learn new skills and provide a social experience for children and young people who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. The befriender is there to encourage the young person to explore new activities and interests. Befriending can help to build the young person’s confidence and self esteem, improve social skills and support them to access opportunities locally and throughout Edinburgh.	Are you someone who believes in the power of listening and connection? Join us as a Family Befriender at Home Link Family Support, where your support can make a world of difference to families with young children.	Our volunteer mentors are matched with young people who have completed either our Choices or Chances programmes with a positive destination. Main activities will include meeting with your mentee regularly for up to 12 months. Developing an action plan to help them sustain their positive destination. Support your mentee in figuring out what goals they want to work on next. Offer support and advice to your mentee as they navigate the next chapter of young adulthood.	The Supportive Transport Service is a key part of what we offer. It provides transportation to individuals living with or affected by HIV and/or Hepatitis C, helping them meet medical, social care, and daily needs. This might include transport to medical appointments, community activities, or essential errands like grocery shopping. Many Service Users face barriers to traveling independently due to factors such as limited mobility, social anxiety, or financial constraints. In addition to transportation, our drivers often provide a supportive presence by listening or helping individuals reflect on information shared during appointments.	The role of the Activity Buddy is to provide practical support and reduce isolation. The people we work with can find it hard to attend appointments and leisure activities due to poor physical/mental health, limited mobility, social anxiety or literacy issues. When illness, mobility, or side-effects of medication make housework or going out difficult, we offer support to make the home environment more comfortable. Volunteers play a vital part in improving service users’ physical health, mental well-being and quality of life through supportive relationships, community connection, creating pathways for personal growth and collaborative goal setting.
