P&J Scotland is now based at Words & Actions for Peace (WandA), a community resource drop-in meeting, exhibition and events hub on Ratcliffe Terrace, overseen by Secure Scotland.
Volunteers who work at WandA are all given basic training in the ‘welcoming’ role so that anyone can offer visitors an introduction and appropriate information and also so that we keep safe and are able to locate resources.
We aim to create a community where we can help each other to make a positive contribution in Scotland and the world.
Volunteers may also offer to undertake tasks related to Peace and Justice Scotland’s projects, or work with other organisations based here.
Other opportunities with Peace and Justice Scotland outside WandA can include writing or blogging, taking pictures, undertaking research, or conducting a survey on an area of interest, or supporting our social media, making a podcast, or helping out at external events.
Peace and Justice Scotland will support people taking on these tasks and offer appropriate training wherever possible.
We particularly welcome volunteers from marginalised communities and the learning opportunities that they may offer the groups who meet in WandA.
There is wheel chair access to the main area, but sadly not to the toilet, and we are always keen to hear about and adapt to different volunteers’ particular needs and preferences if we can.
Out-of-pocket expenses, agreed in advance by Peace and Justice or Secure Scotland can ensure that Weloming volunteer opportunities are open to all regardless of financial position – please let us know of any other obstacles where we may be able to help.
