Scotland

The Companions carry out a variety of regular charitable, religious and social activities all over Scotland.

VOLUNTEERING

We carry out a range of regular charitable activities in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth & Kinross, North Lanarkshire and the Borders. These include helping at soup kitchens; hosting tea parties and dances for the marginalised; visiting those living in sheltered housing, old people’s homes and children’s hospices to provide companionship, and more.

Twice a year we deliver clothing and toiletries parcels at Easter and Christmas (approx. 1000 parcels annually) to nearly all parts of Scotland. 

We also have four student volunteer groups at Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Edinburgh and Aberdeen Universities.
