Mikeysline wants new volunteers who can offer peer mental health support to adults and young people.
The mental health charity said online: “Have you been thinking about making new friends, enhancing your career progression, getting involved in the community or just helping folk in some way?”
It invites people to find out more at mikeysline.co.uk/volunteerwithus or by emailing enquiries@mikeysline.co.uk
It is currently looking for volunteers to provide peer mental health support “to adults and young people who make contact via its digital text based support services, particularly for weekend nightshifts once a month or bi-monthly”.
The charity says it provides induction training, on-call support and a staff buddy as well as daytime office-based support “so that you will always have the team there to support you as you provide support to others”.
In an appeal shared online, it added: “There are also further training opportunities should that be something you may be interested in.
“If you would like an informal chat around this to find out more and for us to answer any questions you may have, then we would be more than happy to arrange that for you.”
