Volunteer Role ⭐

Despite our important work across Edinburgh, many people remain unaware of our mission and social enterprises.

To continue making a difference and strengthening community engagement, we are looking for passionate volunteers to help spread the word, raise awareness, and share promotions that could benefit friends, family, and local communities, from the comfort of their own homes.

All volunteers will receive an initial training session to familiarise themselves with Four Square’s mission, values, and digital engagement strategies. A dedicated contact person will be
available to provide ongoing support, answer questions, and offer guidance.

This suits lots of people who may not have the time for regular on-site volunteering but want to give back. You do not need to be a social media or tech wizard! Just someone who likes to spread the word about things happening in the community!

Find out more on the volunteering section of our website!
