We can’t do this without you.

Become a volunteer

Volunteers are the beating heart of Abernecessities.

We would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for your interest in volunteering with us.

Our incredible volunteers roles play a crucial part of ensuring we can support underprivileged families and children across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

No child should go without the basic essentials they need to live and thrive, and we rely on our network of volunteers to help us on our way to fulfilling that mission. Our volunteers all bring such positivity and energy to what can be a very challenging job. Not only do our team show up to the office with smiles on their faces, but they hugely show up for the families we support across the North-East of Scotland. We really would not be able to do what we do if it wasn't for this level of dedication and kindness.

If you would like to join our team, please tell us a a little bit about yourself and how you would like to help in the Volunteer Application Form at the bottom of the page.
