Volunteer with us

Our volunteers really are the backbone of everything we do. Without them, Active Communities couldn’t exist.

You can do your part in being there for the local community in Renfrewshire by getting involved in a whole variety of different ways. Become a Community Health Champion, Youth Worker Volunteer, a Phone Buddie, or a volunteer at The Pantry. Or maybe you'd like to volunteer at Station Seven, supporting the day-to-day running of the hub by lending a hand on reception, helping with admin, setting up rooms or doing some DIY.

It all just depends on where you think your skills are best suited and what you’d like to get stuck into!
