This project which is funded by the Big Lottery will support people who may have some experience of mental ill health.
Our aim is to give volunteers quality one on one support to increase confidence and self worth, to provide training to highlight skills and experience and help to identify the type of volunteering the volunteer would like to pursue.
We also aim to break down the myths and stigma that surround mental ill health, helping both the prospective volunteers, and organisations that host them, overcome any issues.
