This is a great opportunity to give time back to a local community. You will need to be reasonably fit and posses a sense of humour. This opportunity is currently for Fridays. You will follow a list to collect older people from their homes around North Edinburgh, assist them onto the bus and take them to the Centre. You will return them afterwards.
