Volunteering Opportunities

We have a great pro­gram of events tak­ing place over the next few months, includ­ing Organic mar­kets, a car-free day and allot­ment open day. If you can spare an hour or two to help out on a stall, set up stalls or dis­plays, or as a stew­ard at any of these events then please let us know, we’d be incred­ibly grateful!

We are plan­ning more events, but at the moment we need:

Market Stewards

To provide inform­a­tion and help to cus­tom­ers and stall­hold­ers, help with set up at start and clean up at end.  For dates click here.

• 3 people needed from 9am –12 noon

Tenement energy champions

We aim to help people in tene­ments or flats to reduce their energy bills and make their homes cosier, by giv­ing energy advice and advice about effi­ciency meas­ures such as loft insu­la­tion and draught­proof­ing. Could you inspire your neigh­bours to make changes to bene­fit every­one in the stair, or help to deliver inform­a­tion leaflets?

Publicity help­ers

We have ongo­ing events and orch­ard work­days, and wel­come help to pub­li­cise these with posters and fli­ers in and around Portobello.

If you’re inter­ested in any of these oppor­tun­it­ies, please ring PEDAL on 0131 258 4483.
