If you live in Scotland and fancy giving something back then the Business on Board scheme is your ticket to voluntary work.

The programme has been developed to help promote dialogue and exchange between the private and third sectors. The scheme aims to offer mutual benefits and opportunities at a business and individual level.

At an individual level the scheme offers personal and career development with the opportunity to contribute to achieving social, environmental and cultural objectives that are important to society.

For more information on the scheme call 0131 474 6154, email or visit the Business on Board website. The website also has a list of current volunteering opportunities.
