Everyone has something to offer as a volunteer!

Volunteering your time, is a great way to give back to the school and get to know some of our young people.

If you have experience and knowledge to share that’s fantastic and equally if you are unsure, but would like to get involved, and learn some new skills, we can offer training, advice and support. 

We can also cover reasonable volunteer expenses such as travel costs.

Does your employer have a CSR policy? Do they offer you the opportunity to volunteer at a charity of your choice for a day? Why not volunteer your time and business expertise by spending a day at Preston Lodge High School.

Read how Gary Park, who volunteered on our 3 day residential trip to Lagganlia, supporting first year students alongside teachers, did just that here:

“I was very impressed by all the teachers on the trip and in the way they applied themselves and showed genuine care and thought for the wellbeing and happiness of all the children involved. They all demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, sprinkled with pragmatism, patience and no shortage of humour. Personally, I enjoyed the experience very much and it was a unique opportunity to work with young people again and to help guide, cajole and support them in their activities whether that was the outdoor variety or in the ‘reflection’ sessions. I would recommend others volunteers participate should the opportunity arise and I would do so again without hesitation.”

All funds raised via the Friends of Preston Lodge network are invested back in to Preston Lodge High School to advance the learning opportunities, health and well-being of its current pupils.
