Chapter Volunteer Application Form

Equal Opportunities Form

Completed volunteer application form and equal opportunity form should be emailed to volunteering@chaptermentalhealth.org.

We have a rolling training programme throughout the year. Please email volunteering@chaptermentalhealth.org for more information.

Deliver activities that support people with serious mental illness to engage in their local community. Activities range from walking groups, board game sessions, photography groups and healthy eating classes. Maybe you’ve got a skill to offer that would allow us to offer a new activity.

You don’t need any experience in mental health or of working with people as training will be given. If you’re friendly, supportive and good at lifting the spirits of others then you’d be the perfect Chapter activity volunteer.

Fundraising is an essential source of income for Chapter and helps us to deliver mental health support and services. We’re always on the look out for community fundraisers to help with coordinating and delivering bucket collections or planning and running fundraising events.

Our fundraisers come from a wide range of backgrounds and whether you’re the outgoing type that loves to meet new people, or if you prefer to work behind the scenes, we’re sure to find a great role for you.

We love to support students to gain real world experiences. Whether you’re studying mental health, health & social care, public health, business, marketing, or any other subject, if you’ve got something to offer Chapter we’d love to hear from you.
