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.
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.
Please note: We don’t currently have any counselling volunteering placement opportunities.
If there isn’t a volunteer opportunity that aligns with your interests and skills at the moment, sign up to our mailing list to receive updates on new volunteer openings, charity updates, and upcoming events.
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.
