Rosie Green

Office Manager
After 20+ years working in Finance in the Oil and Gas sector, I took a career break and started volunteering at Instant Neighbour. I enjoyed it so much that at the fist opportunity I applied for a job here and as they say, the rest is history. Before becoming Office Manager, I was Senior Retail Assistant in one of our shops, and also had the pleasure of Co-ordinating our Giving Tree appeal in 2021.

Susan Mackay - Warehouse Manager

A big thank you to the team!

We would like to extend thanks to the wider team, drivers, van hands, retail team and to the numerous volunteers who help us to do what we do.  We are a small team, but everyone’s efforts make us a great team.   Working together to ‘Help make Aberdeen Poverty free.

Volunteers

Our volunteers play a huge part in everything that we do, quite simply we couldn’t do what we do without you!  Whether you have some time on your hands, have recently been made redundant or have never worked, it does not matter, we want to hear from you!  We would be delighted to have you on board!
