We recently opened up our volunteering opportunities to retired planners who previously worked in Scotland. It’s a great way to continue using your professional experience and give something back!

As one of our volunteers put it, volunteering for Planning Aid Scotland can act “as a parachute from total full-time work into retirement”.

Your planning expertise and knowledge are invaluable. You could help someone get involved in local placemaking and contribute to creating vibrant, liveable spaces.

So, if you’re retired — or maybe thinking about retiring — but still want to stay connected to the profession, please reach out. We’ll happily talk you through all the ins and outs of this remote and flexible volunteering opportunity.

Get in touch by contacting our Volunteer Coordinator Jo Elston or give us a call on 0131 220 9730. We’d love to hear from you!
