Volunteer With STAND – Make a Difference in Your Community

Volunteering with STAND is more than just giving your time—it’s about being part of a community that supports, empowers, and includes neurodivergent children and their families. Our volunteers are the backbone of our charity, helping us deliver workshops, run social groups, organise events, and provide one-to-one support. Every hour you give helps make life easier, brighter, and more inclusive for families across East Lothian.

Whether you have experience working with children, a passion for advocacy, or simply want to give back to your community, there’s a place for you at STAND. We welcome people from all walks of life, and no prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to help and a kind heart. We provide all the training, guidance, and support you need to feel confident and empowered in your role.

Volunteering with STAND is also a chance to connect with like-minded people, develop new skills, and see the tangible difference you make in families’ lives. From leading activities to helping behind the scenes, your contribution is valued and celebrated. Together, we live out our three pillars of Support, Empowerment, and Inclusion, creating a community where everyone can thrive.
