Peer Support Volunteer
Help others by sharing your experience so that no one faces their journey alone
Connecting with someone who really ‘gets it’ can be a powerful source of support, whether someone is newly diagnosed or going through a change or challenge.
By joining our growing team of peer support volunteers, you can use your lived experience to help others providing someone to talk to who can understand what they’re going through. All it requires is a kind, listening person who can provide regular, flexible support by phone, text or email for half an hour to an hour per week, for at least three months.
Your support could really make a difference.
To be a peer support volunteer you need to be over 18 years old.
