Volunteer Opportunities: Mental Health Support Session Volunteer

Help us help others

We believe that everyone has value and has something to offer.

Volunteering at Manchester Mind can be a really rewarding and worthwhile experience and it can bring many benefits too – whether that’s learning new skills or rediscovering old skills and passing on skills, building confidence, meeting new people, being valued. All things that contribute to positive mental health. We are currently looking for volunteers for our Welcome and Access services.

Current Opportunities:

• Support Session Volunteer

Access to food is intrinsically linked to mental health and those who struggle with both often become isolated. We run support sessions weekly to encourage local people to sit, relax and enjoy some nutritious food whilst finding out about how we can help. This includes mental health support, welfare advice, wellbeing activities and coping strategies.

We are looking for someone, with a Manchester postcode, who is able to actively listen to the people who attend and develop kind and supportive relationships which enable you to collaborate and identify appropriate support together. You will help staff to deliver activities and guide people to access help by actively listening to their needs.

We are looking for individuals who can commit to two sessions per month for at least 6 months. This role is for Thursdays sessions only.
