Stirling Community Enterprise

At Stirling Community Enterprise we recognise Volunteering as a positive step towards employment whilst also providing a valuable service to the wide range of volunteer involving organisations throughout our community. We also recognise that many volunteers struggle to identify the wide range of skills and experience they gain in their roles and how these can equip them for a future career. New for 2020 we are proud to introduce the nationally recognised Award in Volunteering Skills to the wide range of accredited training opportunities we offer.

•Not in education or involved in any other SDS funded programme
•Unemployed and looking to get back into work
•Employed, earning less than £22,000 per year and looking to progress in or change your job
