Volunteering

We are all volunteers and rely on community people to get involved and work with us to develop and deliver our projects.

We currently have 80 volunteers who helping to make sure Dunblane is a good place to live. Activities include improving paths, developing floral  displays & local green spaces, installing Xmas lights, running the Braeport Centre and supporting the Memory Cafe.

And we are always looking for more; some of our folk have been at it for 15 year and are need of younger company!

Could you help out? Do you have skills and knowledge we could use? Do you have some spare time? Volunteering is fun and is a great way to meet new people and get involved in your community. You don’t have to be a member of DDT to volunteer – though it would be good if you were!

If you would like to get involved have look at the opportunities below and  contact us.
