Local people helping us to help others

The Centre is indebted to its volunteer helpers who, by giving their time, are enriching the lives of others while gaining valuable skills and experience.

What we need

As an Edinburgh charity working with local people the Eric Liddell Centre is able to do more due to the kindness of volunteers.

You can lend a hand in a number of ways including:


  • Helping in the Day Care Service and its home based activity service (PVG required).

  • Giving a hand at our lunch service for older people.

  • Being a foot carer our Caring Soles personal foot care service

  • Doing odd jobs around the building, including a bit of painting and decorating.

  • Helping carers through the Carer Befriending Service.

  • Volunteering on our Fundraising Committee to help us organise our series of fundraising events.

  • Acting as host for a Centre based course.

  • Admin support.

  • Using your creative skills to design new leaflets, posters etc.

  • Giving talks to local Rotary Clubs and other community groups.
