Volunteering

Do something amazing  

We are always looking for volunteers who can give some time to improving the lives of those in need. You can volunteer as a student counsellor, a helpliner, as group facilitator, a befriender, to work in our Charity Shop, or offer your specialist skills, e.g. admin, fundraising, social media !  

The work of our volunteers has a profoundly positive impact on those who are mentally unwell, vulnerable, isolated and in need of help. Without the help of volunteers we could not help as many people as we do.   Thank you.

How much time will I have to commit to? 

You can give as much or as little time as you are able. From one off events to regular weekly groups or befriending. 

Is there an age limit for volunteers?

Does volunteering affect any benefits I receive 

Volunteering is an excellent way to improve your opportunities and skills for work; if you are currently in receipt of benefits it’s always a good idea to talk to your adviser at the DWP about volunteering. 

Will I get training for the role
