Our Mind shop volunteers are a dedicated bunch who help to make sure that all of us with mental health problems have somewhere to turn. Whether it's sorting and pricing clothes, making sales or getting creative on the shop floor, there's plenty you can do to help out.
There's no need for volunteering to be a big, time-consuming commitment either - even an hour a week could make a huge difference.
By joining one of our teams, you will:
- Learn new skills
- Gain qualifications
- Meet new people
- Build your confidence
