Volunteer

There are a variety of ways that you might consider donating your time to support our work. For many, volunteering is a way of giving back to an organisation that may have assisted them or a family member. For others, it’s a feel-good factor knowing that they are making a difference. Whatever your motivation we would welcome you with open arms.

Some of the ways you can help are office administration, fundraising, advocacy, youth awareness, support group activities (digital and face-to-face), consumer groups, and our Peer Support Service. 

Download the Volunteer Application Form to indicate what you would like to help us with and how often you are available, or if you would like to talk to us about volunteering please call 0800 663 463 and speak to the Volunteer Co-ordinator.
