Get Involved and Make a Difference

Volunteers have played a major role in the work of Friends of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs over the last 40 years. We have stepped up our volunteering activities in recent years to try and make a real difference. There are a range of interesting and enjoyable volunteering opportunities available for people with a wide variety of different skills and interests.

Ways to Get Involved

Below is a list of some of the  volunteer opportunities regularly available. We are also open to suggestions for other activities from potential volunteers provided they are in line with our aims.

Make a Difference Days -Fun conservation in action events throughout the National Park tackling a range of tasks including clearing litter on beaches and the Loch Lomond islands, creating habitat areas, clearing paths and cycleways and planting trees.

Help at Shows and EventsEach year we look for volunteers who are keen to spread the word about Friends of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs and help staff our stand at the various Highland Games, agricultural shows and  and other events we attend. The role involves talking to the general public about our work; handing out information to those interested and encouraging them to become a member; and selling the Friends publications and merchandise.

Distributors Needed- We are keen to spread the word on the work of the Friends and need volunteers to help distribute our Voice magazine and secure more outlets for the sale of our merchandise. If you enjoy sales there are also opportunities to recruit more Friends business supporters and members. A few hours occasionally  can make a real difference

 If you want to know more about any of our activities and to take part contact our Project Support Officer Jennifer Plunkett on 07496 433134 or email info@lochlomondtrossachs.org.uk
