I love volunteering at Mental Health Resource. It has a naturally warm and welcoming energy. I've met so many amazing people and my life feels much richer because of it. I look forward to coming in on Fridays; it's very quickly become my favourite day of the week!" Kimberley, Hub volunteer.

Volunteers week at Mental Health Resource

Why volunteer?

Volunteering is a chance to become involved in something you are passionate about, to contribute to something meaningful and to give back to your community.  Alongside this, volunteering can be a great opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and enhance your own wellbeing. 

Our ‘The Ways to Wellbeing’ wheel illustrates how ‘giving’ and ‘connecting’ form an essential part of developing and maintaining wellbeing.

We believe that volunteering should be mutually beneficial, enabling you to gain new experiences and skills from the roles you undertake and at the same time enriching our work with the skills and traits you have.
