Improving Mental Health through volunteering.
The Supported Volunteering Project, funded by Big Lottery Community Fund, supports people who may have experienced mental ill health into volunteering.
The aim of the project is to give volunteers one to one support to increase confidence and reduce isolation, to highlight skills and experience and help identify the type of volunteering they might wish to do.
One to One Support
Supported Volunteering helps you to find the most suitable volunteering opportunities for you. We will support you through the whole process to make sure you are comfortable.
People volunteer for lots of individual reasons and we understand that.
