Volunteer Support Worker
Our Volunteer Support Worker provides help and support to those affected by mental health issues. Volunteering can help improve mental health and can be an excellent way of getting back into employment. This is a friendly service offering flexible help - with no pressure - based on the needs of the individual. Information and advice on all aspects of volunteering is available plus one-to-one support.
