Tayside Council on Alcohol

We’re looking for volunteer mentors to support young people across Dundee through our Youth Mentoring Service.

Right now, we have a number of young people waiting to be matched, including a 15-year-old who enjoys boxing, fitness, gaming, and TV series.

Our mentoring supports young people to:

✔ Build confidence and self-worth
✔ Improve mental health and wellbeing
✔ Make positive, informed life choices
✔ Try new activities and widen their horizons

Mentors meet young people for a few hours each week, building a trusted relationship and supporting them to achieve their goals.

We’re particularly keen to hear from men at the moment, as many of the young people referred to us would benefit from a positive male role model.

That said, we welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, what matters most is being reliable, approachable, and willing to listen.

📍 Dundee
✅ Full training and ongoing support provided
✅ Around 2–4 hours per week commitment

If you’d like to make a difference in a young person’s life:

Please share, it could help us reach the right person!

TCA and Skilz both provide a range of support services and activities throughout Angus - and we are now seeking YOUR help! 🙂

As we no longer have our wonderful handyman who maintained our outdoor spaces, they are sadly looking a bit wild. We want our spaces to feel welcoming and inviting for those who access our building... so we are hosting a voluntary gardening morning and would greatly appreciate support from the Arbroath community!

WHEN? Sunday 28th June, 10:00-12:00 📅
WHERE? TCA & Skilz, 22-24 Catherine Street, Arbroath (opposite the bus station) 📍

If you have any questions or would like to know more prior to attending, call us on 01241 872989 📞

We’re still buzzing after an amazing Volunteers’ Week 🌟💙

We had such a great time celebrating and, most importantly, thanking our incredible volunteers for their time, dedication, and the difference they make every day.

Last Thursday, we attended the Volunteer Celebration Event organised by Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action at Just Bee Productions, where we had the opportunity to deliver a short presentation to recognise and thank our volunteers 👏

It was also inspiring to hear about so many other fantastic volunteers making an impact across Dundee.

To top it all off, DVVA kindly presented us with a framed certificate, recognising TCA’s commitment to volunteering in Dundee, something we’re really proud of 💫

(And here we are showing it off! 📸)

A huge thank you again to all of our volunteers, you make everything we do possible 💙

The rate of men dying from an alcohol-specific condition has gradually increased over the last decade.

Alcohol Focus Scotland 's campaign encourages people to think differently when buying gifts for people 🎁

Instead of buying alcohol as a present this Father's Day, why not opt for a gift that benefits health and wellbeing? Some ideas include ⬇️
