Volunteer Gardener 

Do you love getting out in the garden? JCS are looking for green-thumbed volunteer to support an elderly member of the community with their garden this summer. Ideal for those wanting to enjoy the sunshine while lending a hand. 

Location: Newton Mearns

Duties: Watering plants, tending to troughs and planters, tidying and deadheading plants, picking up plants to put in troughs and other light gardening work. 

Located in Newton Mearns, the gardening role would involve picking up plants to plant into the troughs, deadheading and watering regularly throughout the summertime.

These planters bring their owner joy but sadly he is now not fit enough to look after them alone. We would love to hear from all of the Horticulturists out there, or just anyone who loves plants!

Application to the PVG scheme may be required.

For more information on this role and to apply please email Jean at jeang@jcarescot.org.uk or give us a call on 0141 620 1800

JCS has officially launched our ‘165 for 165’ fundraising appeal where we will be asking 165 supporters to raise £165 throughout the year to mark our anniversary. We hope that your support this year will go a long way in securing the future of our services for many years to come for the Jewish Community in Scotland.

We are looking to get 165 people to get involved whether that is through celebration fundraising, one-off donations, or even through taking on a personal challenge.

Our year has already been kickstarted by a few keen supporters and we hope that the interest in our campaign continues to grow throughout the rest of the year.

To help this dream become a reality JCS is also launching a fundraising booklet of 65 unique fundraising ideas to go alongside our appeal, as well as advice on how to get media attention for your fundraiser, and how to run an online fundraising page. You can download it here at 165 for 165

We will be launching a segment on our social media that asks our supporters to think of how they would fundraise and we will be publishing what we receive throughout the coming months.

Having already heard from people getting in touch with unusual ideas we cannot wait to hear from you.

To talk to us about getting involved with the appeal you can follow the link to our Sign Up Form, go to our donation page, text ‘Donate jcarescot 165’ to 88802 or alternatively email Anya at anyak@jcarescot.org.uk
