Volunteer with Us
Make use of your skills and help your local mental health charity
Donate your time for mental health!
Are you passionate about helping people to improve their mental health?
Do you have spare time you’d like to offer to a charity helping people in your area?
Would you like to share a particular skill to help us offer more support?
Volunteering is an incredible way that you can help Devon Mind to support more people, by donating your time and using your skills as part of our services, programmes, events, or partnerships. There are lots of ways you can get involved with Devon Mind on a voluntary basis, depending on your interests, your individual skills, and what time you’re able to commit. Check out the list below and find out more about your chosen route.
How you can get involved:
Support volunteers
Join our support service team directly helping people with their mental health. You might be helping to facilitate a group, delivering content as part of a course, or taking notes at a service user feedback workshop. We provide a full suite of training for our support volunteers, as well as regular supervision and further opportunities.
Fundraising volunteers
We’re always on the lookout for volunteers who want to help us with our fundraising and events in the community. Whether it’s a simple bucket collection, stewarding or helping to coordinate an event we’re hosting, or raising awareness in the local area, you’ll play a key role in supporting our fundraising and events team at Devon Mind.
Counselling placements
We regularly provide placements to students who are working towards obtaining their counselling qualifications. Our student counsellors join our team of staff counsellors and deliver regular counselling sessions to clients as part of their programme of study.
Sorry, registration is currently closed for counselling placements. We’ll have more information on our website soon.
Ambassadors
Would you like to leverage your existing networks to support us? Register your interest in becoming an ambassador and we’ll empower you to represent us in the fight for mental health across Devon. From presentations to corporate partnerships, events, and more, there’s a whole range of ways you can get involved.
