Volunteering

Thank you for your interested in GAMH volunteer opportunities. We have recently completed volunteer training and are not planning any further training at this time.

Our Befriending Project provides up to 6 months support to individuals who have been isolated as a result of mental health difficulties and require light touch assistance to re-engage with social and community activities such as art galleries, museums, walking and leisure centres, with the help of one of our trained volunteers.

Our volunteers are fully prepared for the Befriending role through participating in our volunteer induction, which includes, mental health recovery, safeguarding, boundaries, role clarification and codes of practice. Volunteers generally meet Befriendees weekly for around 2-3 hours. The Volunteers log on and off with a staff member and receive regular supervision throughout the match.

Our citywide group programme provides a wide range of activities and workshops such as tennis, cycling, walking and indoor workshops such as arts and crafts, creating writing, pottery, food for Recovery. We welcome volunteer support of these activities.

Please complete our volunteer enquiry form or contact Jenny Bunting for further information.
