Help people get out, connect, and enjoy life again.
Weekday WOW Factor is a community initiative that creates fun, inclusive social experiences—often themed events like daytime discos and group activities—designed primarily for older adults and people who may be at risk of isolation. The organisation focuses on bringing people together in a safe, welcoming environment where they can build friendships, stay active, and enjoy meaningful social interaction. By combining accessible venues, supportive staff and volunteers, and organised transport, Weekday WOW Factor helps remove barriers to participation and ensures more people can stay connected to their community.
Do you enjoy driving and meeting new people? As a Volunteer Driver with Weekday WOW Factor, you’ll play a vital role in helping older adults and community members get to social activities that bring joy, connection, and purpose to their week. For many of the people they support, attending these sessions wouldn’t be possible without reliable transport. That’s where you come in—helping to create a safe, welcoming journey that’s just as important as the destination.
What you’ll do
- Safely transport participants to and from WOW Factor events in Angus
- Support a friendly, inclusive atmosphere from pick-up to drop-off
- Work as part of a coordinated team of drivers and staff
- Follow agreed schedules and routes to ensure smooth running of activities
Support to the Volunteer
Volunteers will receive an induction, clear guidance, and ongoing support from a coordinator. You’ll have access to schedules in advance, support from staff and fellow volunteers, and any required training or checks to help you feel confident in the role.
Why this role matters
Your time behind the wheel helps reduce isolation and opens the door for people to reconnect with their community, build friendships, and enjoy meaningful experiences.
You’re not just driving—you’re helping people feel included, valued, and part of something positive.
What we’re looking for
- A full, clean driving licence
- Confident, safe driving skills (minibus experience is a bonus)
- Friendly, patient, and reliable approach
- Good timekeeping and communication
What you’ll gain
- A rewarding role where you see the impact of your support straight away
- The chance to meet new people and be part of a welcoming team
- Experience in community transport and supporting social inclusion
- Reimbursement of agreed travel expenses
Time commitment
- Flexible opportunities available across weekdays and weekends
- Sessions planned in advance with the team
- You can volunteer regularly or around your availability

You will then be contacted by the coordinator by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out, then please feel free to contact us directly on weekdaywowfactor@gmail.com
What happens next?
After applying, a member of the team will be in touch to discuss your availability, answer any questions, and guide you through the next steps, including any checks or induction needed before getting started.
