Volunteering and ways to help

Volunteer Counsellor

Volunteer counsellors support survivors of sexual violence through 16 weeks of person centred counselling. We have counselling roles for volunteers who who hold a minimum qualification of a Diploma in Counselling or Foundation Degree in Counselling or who are in the 2nd year of their Counselling Diploma or Foundation Degree.

Emotional Support Volunteers

Our team of specially trained Emotional Support Volunteers provide crucial, anonymous support via phone and email to survivors of sexual violence, as well as their friends and family members. Delivered remotely during two hour shifts, volunteers use their skills to hold space, listen to and validate survivors’ experiences, making a real difference.

Volunteer Group Co-Facilitators

Our Volunteer Group Co-Facilitators help to create a safe and supportive environment for survivors attending the range of Trauma-Informed Groups delivered by our Group Coordinators. Providing 1:1 emotional support away from the rest of the group to anyone who needs it, as well as supporting group discussion and facilitating breakout sessions, this volunteer role provides a great opportunity to experience group dynamics and witness progression.

Trustee Roles

Opportunities are available to those interested in becoming a Member of the Board of Trustees. Application in the first instance can be made to the CEO acting on behalf of the Management Committee. We are currently recruiting for trustees. For more information go to: http://ow.ly/w3aw50JvrKL
