We reserve the right not to promote an opportunity if we believe it does not comply with legal requirements, good practice or our minimum standards.

We enter the information you give us onto our database and some of this information appears on our website and on volunteerscotland.net, We may also promote your opportunities in news bulletins, blogs on our website and on our social media channels.

If you do not want your opportunities to appear online, they will only be held in paper format in the database in our main office.
