A spokesperson for FVA said: “Volunteering is for everyone and these events will help local people access an opportunity that works for them – in the right location, at the right time, and in an area they're interested in.

“Volunteering has many benefits including learning new skills, meeting new people, having fun, increasing confidence, gaining experience, using your talents, developing new interests, and gaining a sense of achievement.

"Many people volunteer for social reasons, volunteering into paid work, exploring a new career or retirement, giving back to their community.”

The first roadshow takes place on Friday, January 17 at the Community Support Hub, Kingsgate Shopping Centre, Dunfermline from 10am until 2pm. Those organisations attending include LinkLiving, EATS Rosyth, Dunfermline Advocacy, Sporting Memories, Victim Support Scotland, NSPCC, Coastwatch, British Heart Foundation, Citizens Advice & Rights Fife, Youth 1st and Meal Makers.
