Volunteering at Bath Mind can bring many benefits – whether that’s learning new skills, passing on existing skills, building confidence, meeting new people or feeling empowered and valued.
Bath Mind are proud to have over 40 volunteers that give their time to support our services, fundraising, communications and outreach in the community.
We provide appropriate training, celebrations and regular supervision and appraisals to our volunteers, and are incredibly grateful to all who volunteer their time to support our mental health charity.
Volunteering at Bath Mind always puts a smile on my face – I love the sense of community that comes across from the groups. It’s a really rewarding organisation to be involved with.

We have an exciting opportunity to appoint up to four new volunteer Trustees, including a Treasurer (who will be responsible for leading our Finance Sub-Committee and liaising with our Finance Manager). All Trustees will be expected to work closely with our Chair of Trustees, Pip Galland.
We are looking to diversify the skillset of our Board to ensure that Bath Mind can be as impactful as possible. We are particularly interested to hear from individuals who are currently working within the mental health, social care and health sectors, including those with clinical and/or commissioning experience.
We are also looking for individuals with expertise in equality, diversity, inclusion, and equity (“EDIE”). EDIE is at the core of our values, and we acknowledge that our EDIE journey is a collective responsibility that requires continued investment.

Kat’s Story:
Hopespace is a warm and welcoming space where people feel safe. Staff and volunteers know how to offer positive support and take time to listen to the stories people bring. We try to be non-judgemental, while also being aware of how people present themselves and might be feeling…
During the session, we play board games, have a chat, see where they are with their benefits or other issues they may have. Maybe signpost to helpful organisations.
I believe in giving back to society and feel lucky that I can. It’s good to be part of your community and contribute, as I know that services across the country are stretched… I don’t need to be needed, but I was supported and want to keep that part of me alive. Even on a once a week basis, it’s about keeping that energy going. Being part of something is nice.
