West Dunbartonshire CVS launched On Your Doorstep campaign

West Dunbartonshire Council for Voluntary Services (CVS) has launched the On Your Doorstep campaign, which features an interactive map highlighting volunteering opportunities across the area.

The campaign also includes outreach information sessions to help people learn more and sign up for opportunities.

It aims to increase participation by helping people find volunteering positions close to home.

Kathleen McCulloch, volunteer centre lead at West Dunbartonshire CVS, said: “We know there are a lot of myths about volunteering.

“One is that you usually have to travel to get involved, so this campaign sets out to disprove that and shows the many opportunities that exist in every community.

“The organisations featured on the map do amazing things and would really benefit from having more volunteers involved in their work.”
