Volunteering Matters deliver a range of employability support programmes for parents in Scotland. Currently, these are being delivered across the City of Edinburgh, West Lothian, Dundee and Aberdeenshire. We help parents to enhance their employability prospects and move forward in life. We offer personalised and bespoke support, based on the needs, goals, and interests of parents themselves. Our skilled staff, and team of Volunteer Mentors, support parents to understand and identify their strengths, skills, and barriers to employment. We then support parents to put steps and strategies in place, to overcome these barriers and challenges.
Our free programmes benefit parents who identify within at least one of the 6 priority groups:
Lone Parents
Parents with a disability, or who have a child with a disability
Parents from an ethnic minority background
Families with 3 children or more
Families with a child under the age of 1
Parents aged 25 and under
