In addition to promoting and supporting volunteering, Volunteer Glasgow has established a successful track record in providing community development, befriending/mentoring, training, community care, and advisory services to the general public and to a range of specific client groups across the city. We currently manage two of the city's Carers Centres, our Young Persons Befriending Service, and our Elderly Home Visiting and Daycare Service. We're an SQA approved centre and provide learning and accreditation support. Our vision is of, “a Glasgow where everyone freely commits to making a positive difference in the life of the city.” We believe that through volunteering we all can make a difference, directly and indirectly to the lives of others in a vast range of ways. In Glasgow we have a rich history of volunteering and Volunteer Glasgow has over 40 years of experience in creating, developing, supporting and promoting volunteering. Our mission is, “to lead in making Glasgow the city where everyone is passionate about volunteering their skills, abilities, talents, experience and knowledge.”
