ANGUSalive’s volunteers received a certificate from our Chief Executive, Kirsty Hunter, thanking them for making a difference by giving up their valuable time for the charity and greatly contributing across all services and local communities. As well as helping others, volunteering has been shown to improve volunteers’ wellbeing, boost their confidence and can also help them to gain valuable new skills and
experiences. ANGUSalive takes on volunteers to support their operations on an ad-hoc basis such as for short-term specific events or programmes, and on a more regular basis supporting service areas such as our libraries, archives and our country parks. ANGUSalive aims to match volunteers to an opportunity that best suits their interests and welcomes enquiries from all ages and abilities. Anyone can join by replying to notices on social media or by contacting one of our culture, sport or leisure facilities. ANGUSalive has recognised its volunteers as part of Volunteers’ Week for the past three years.
“Volunteering with Angus Archives allows me to make a practical contribution to the work of the archives, whilst at the same time expanding my personal knowledge of the county’s history,” Grant Moir, volunteer of 5 years.
