🌿 Volunteer Opportunities

Help us care for Colinton — and keep our village thriving

The Colinton Amenity Association relies on the generosity, enthusiasm, and skills of local volunteers. Whether you can spare a few hours once a year or prefer a role with a little more involvement, your contribution makes a real difference to our community.

Below are our current volunteer opportunities. If any of these roles appeal to you — or if you’d simply like to chat about how, you might get involved — we’d be delighted to hear from you.

📦 Magazine Distribution Co‑ordinator

Once‑a‑year organisational role

We are seeking an organised and friendly volunteer to co‑ordinate the annual distribution of the Colinton Magazine. This role involves:

Confirming the date when the magazine will be ready
Emailing our team of distributors with collection details from Colinton Library
Keeping a simple list of delivery routes and volunteers
Helping find a new distributor if someone steps down

It’s a light, once‑a‑year commitment that keeps a much‑loved village tradition running smoothly.

✏️ Magazine Content Contributor

Flexible, creative role

Do you enjoy writing, photography, research, or local history? We’re looking for new contributors to help shape future editions of the Colinton Magazine. You might:

Write an article or short piece
Provide photographs
Research a local topic
Interview residents
Help develop ideas for future content

You can contribute as much or as little as you wish — it’s a wonderful way to celebrate Colinton’s heritage and share stories from around the village.

💼 Treasurer

(Website, Online Membership & OSCR Reporting)

Key governance role

We are seeking a Treasurer to support the financial administration of our website and online membership processes, and to prepare the annual financial report for OSCR. The role includes:

Managing online membership payments and renewals
Maintaining accurate digital financial records
Liaising with the Membership Secretary and Committee
Preparing the annual OSCR financial report
Supporting good governance and compliance

You don’t need to be a qualified accountant — just organised, reliable, and comfortable with basic financial administration.
