Volunteers Sought For Glasgow 850 Celebrations
Step forward and volunteer to celebrate Glasgow 850
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are being sought to support the celebrations around Glasgow 850’s yearlong programme of activities in 2025. The Glasgow 850 Volunteer and Employability programme will offer Glaswegians, a unique opportunity to play a key part in the city’s birthday year, with roles to support the smooth running of its main events, and within local community projects.
In a break from the conventional volunteer programmes that recruits and trains people for specific roles, as part of a one-time event, the Glasgow 850 programme will ask people to register to hear about various volunteer and learning opportunities, throughout the anniversary year.

Developed in conjunction with Volunteer Glasgow, this approach to volunteering creates an inclusive and rewarding experience for participants. It allows them to engage in a range of activities at their own pace, offering greater flexibility and choice than traditional volunteer models.
