Volunteering & Membership

Our volunteers and contributors are a hugely important and valued part of our team and we appreciate all of the support we receive.

Volunteers

Our volunteers are a hugely important and valued part of our team. They’re all qualified solicitors who give their time and expertise to help us answer emails and reach many more people.

We’re Always Looking For New Volunteer Solicitors

If you’re a qualified Scots Law solicitor and would like to support us, why not consider becoming a volunteer solicitor for the Centre? Our volunteer solicitors help us hugely by answering email enquiries the public send us, and you can choose your level of commitment to the Centre.

All our volunteer solicitors are experienced in child and family law, or in other areas of law that impact children, for example, immigration, mental health, criminal law or disability/equality law. If you’re curious about volunteering, you can try it out without any obligation to continue. We understand you’re busy so if there comes a point where you can no longer volunteer with us, you can stop, or take a break.

Jamie, Drummond Miller

“Volunteering at SCLC has been a very rewarding experience. This experience has also helped me to grow as a solicitor by expanding my legal knowledge and problem solving.”

Keir Gilius, Black Hay Solicitors

“I really enjoy volunteering with the Scottish Child Law Centre because it means that I can use my skills to give back and help children and families in challenging times. It’s such an easy way to “do your bit” for those in need and some of the cases that we assist with are really interesting.”

Carla Boylan, Russells Gibson McCaffrey Solicitors

“I have found volunteering at SCLC to be extremely fulfilling. I have received queries from people in very complex, and sometimes uncommon, situations and I feel it has been a gratifying experience providing what assistance I can.”
