Do you have one hour a week to change a child's life?

We're looking for volunteer tutors across Glasgow and Edinburgh, including Drumchapel, Milton, Govan, Pollok, Bishopbriggs, Liberton and Gorgie, to give one to one support to the children who need it most.

No teaching experience needed, we'll train you and match you with a child near you.

One hour a week doesn't sound like much, but it can truly change the trajectory of a child's life.

To everyone who donated to VTO's Kiltwalks. We are immensely grateful for your support.

Ciara and Yuliia raised over £4,000 with your support, going straight to our frontline work with children and young people across Scotland.

It is difficult to express in words how your support impacts the future of children and young people in Scotland, but the least we can say is a sincere thank you. We couldn't have done it without you. 💜

Three days to go! This Sunday, Ciara takes on the Mighty Stride at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk for VTO.

If you've been meaning to support her, now's the time. Every donation helps us put another volunteer tutor in front of a child who needs one, and thanks to the Hunter Foundation's top up, your gift goes further.

Thank you to everyone who has already given.

One week down, one to go, until Ciara takes on the Mighty Stride for VTO at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk!

While she's out training, here's why it matters: our volunteer tutors support hundreds of children across Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth & Kinross with their reading, spelling, writing and number work. For many, one hour a week with a volunteer tutor is the difference between falling further behind and starting to catch up.

Every pound raised by Ciara helps us recruit, train and support the next volunteer tutor. Support her here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ciarahogg-1776425180030

We're growing our Fundraising & Communications team!

VTO is looking for two volunteers to help us reach more children, volunteers and supporters and share our story:

📣 Social Media Volunteer: create content in Canva, schedule posts and share our impact across Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn.

📰 Marketing & Communications Volunteer: help us grow our reach beyond social media, through newsletters, press releases and community outreach.

Both roles are around 3 hours a week, for at least 6 months. No formal experience needed, just enthusiasm and a bit of time to give.

Ciara, our Edinburgh Learning Communities Coordinator, is lacing up her boots for the Mighty Stride at this year's Edinburgh Kiltwalk on 13 September, and she's doing it for VTO.

In Ciara's words: ""The reason why I am walking the Kiltwalk is to raise awareness of our organisation and promote the amazing work that us as staff and our volunteers do to ensure that the children and young people get support with their Maths and English learning.""

Every child VTO supports gets one to one help from a trained volunteer tutor, often exactly the kind of support that makes the difference between falling behind and catching up. Ciara is walking around 22 miles to help us reach more of them.

You can back her here. Thanks to Gift Aid and the Hunter Foundation's top up, up to 125% of what you give can reach VTO.

Every step counts, and so does every donation!

💜 This Sunday the 16th, our very own Yulia is taking on the Dundee Kiltwalk to raise funds for VTO, and she could use your support.

In her words:

"I'm taking part in the Dundee Kiltwalk to raise funds for VTO, a charity that's especially close to my heart. As the Learning Coordinator for Perth and Kinross, I see firsthand the positive impact our volunteer tutors have in helping young people who cannot afford private tuition with their literacy, numeracy and confidence. By taking on this challenge, I hope to support the incredible work VTO does and help ensure more people can access the life-changing opportunities our charity provides. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference. Thank you for your support!"

Every pound goes straight towards recruiting, training and supporting the volunteer tutors who help children across Scotland build confidence and get the most out of their education.

Cheer her on with a donation here 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/vtodundeekiltwalk2026

The boots are off and the blisters are real. 💚

Last weekend our amazing team took on the Glasgow Kiltwalk for children across Scotland who need our support most. We could not be prouder of them.
