The contribution
that volunteers make to the work of Scarborough & Ryedale
Mind is central to its service and philosophy.
We
have a number of volunteering options available to those interested
in joining us:
Fundraising
- Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale Mind relies on fundraising to
continue its work. We are always keen to recruit volunteers who
are able to organise and run small scale and local fundraising events
like raffles, car-boot sales, fashion shows etc.
Befriending
- this service is looking for committed volunteers to work alongside
a person with mental health difficulties to help them in a variety
of ways. This work can be very rewarding and users of our service
can benefit enormously from your relationship with them.
Outreach
work - Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale Mind uses ordinary
community venues to enable easy public access and we are keen to
recruit volunteers who could provide information and support to
members of the public.
Health
promotion work - Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale Mind
is committed to educating the public about the importance of maintaining
their mental health. Our work includes training in schools, colleges
and the workplace. If you have an interest in this work please contact
us.
Volunteering
with Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale Mind is supported - we recognise
that volunteers will sometimes need support and advice. We provide
this through informal and open contact with our regular staff in
addition to our regular meetings which all volunteers are invited
to attend. We also plan several larger social gatherings for volunteers
and service users throughout the year. We also have a 'network'
of volunteers who have agreed to be available to one another for
informal support. In addition, we provide training to volunteers
in order that they can be clear about their role from the very start.
Whether you
are employed, unemployed, retired, having difficulty finding or
holding down a job, a student.... in fact whatever or whoever you
are, volunteering offers a great opportunity to BE INVOLVED.
So
- why not join us...

further details, and an application form.
