Becoming a volunteer

Pillar could not function without help from volunteers.  Most volunteers assist staff at members sessions and some serve (if elected) on the Board of Directors.

We work with our local Volunteer Centre to recruit suitable volunteers, but do feel free to get in touch directly by email or telephone to find out more about what volunteering with Pillar involves, and what it can offer.

As a prospective volunteer you are initially asked to visit Pillar to look round and have an informal interview.  We then ask you to come along regularly for a few weeks so that we can get to know you, and you can get to know us.

At the end of this period we will discuss your role, before you make any firm commitment to being a regular volunteer.

What Should I Do Next?

Because volunteers are so important to the functioning of our organisation we have both a Volunteers policy and a formal Volunteers agreement in the form of a checklist of what is expected on both sides.

Have a look at the policy and checklist to make sure they meet your needs as well as ours.  Then, if you are still interested, contact a member of staff at the Pillar Kincardine office (tel. 01569-767222) or send an email to

We look forward to hearing from you!
