Volunteer with us
All volunteers in our Resource Centre play a part in enabling a welcoming and safe place for visitors – speaking to members, providing refreshments and helping with daily social activities. We can provide training in how to hold conversations about mental health as enabling social contact is essential to providing support and reducing isolation.
There is a simple application process to become a volunteer with us. Why not call in and have a chat and see if our volunteer opportunities are right for you.
