Micro Volunteering

Micro volunteering is one-off or very short-term, low-commitment volunteering. Despite the name, the impact of micro volunteering can still be significant. For you, and for Age Scotland. 

Micro volunteering is about taking on tasks and activities, rather than roles. You might be doing one task as an individual, or volunteering within a group of people each doing a task as part of a bigger project.

Here are some examples of ways you can help Age Scotland with micro-volunteering:  

• Help with sharing information or distributing leaflets at an event 
• Holding a collection can at a fundraising event
• Being a marshal at an event
• Helping our team at information stalls and Age Scotland roadshows 
• Informing us about relevant events in your local community for older people 
• Taking part in fundraising for us
• By showing support for us on social media  
• Taking part in research via one of our panels 
• Checking in with your older neighbours
