tsiMoray launch appeal for 'experteers' to help community groups

AN appeal has gone out to volunteers with special skills to lend a helping hand to community groups across Moray.

TsiMoray, which acts as an umbrella group for the third sector in Moray, have issued their latest volunteers hotlist and are hoping to attract what they call 'experteers' – people who have a professional or technical skill and who volunteer by sharing that professional skill.

In particular demand are people with finance, business, accounting or fundraising and marketing skills, who would like to help a local charity.

Charities and local groups understand that people have lives, so a lot of roles like this are flexible. Above all, tsiMoray are hoping to encourage people to volunteer or 'experteer' for causes that mean something to them and will try to find a suitable match.

In Buckie, there are four opportunities on the latest hotlist. There is the chance to become a Blackwood's digital buddies combining befriending with digital literacy, both face-to-face and via the telephone.

There are two with the town's Red Cross store, which is looking for a volunteer to serve in the shop and another to help market it to a wider audience.

Buckie RNLI are keen to recruit a volunteer water safety advisor.

Meanwhile, there are positions for volunteer walk leaders in Cullen and other locations in Moray.
