Volunteer
Volunteering can be a personal development opportunity and may take
you in a new career direction. There are a variety of volunteering
opportunities covering a wide range of activities including:
|
Volunteer as a Board Member There are currently two exciting
opportunities to join our Board of Directors. The Board provides strategic
direction for the organisation and oversees spending and standards. Being a
Director means making a vital contribution to the development and delivery of
Mind in Taunton and West Somerset’s independent, local mental health services.
The Board meets monthly and we are looking for two individuals who can commit
to the equivalent of approximately two hours per week.
We particularly encourage and welcome applications from people who have
direct experience of using mental health services and who live in Taunton Deane
or West Somerset.

Community Fundraising - Raising money!
We are currently looking for volunteers to help launch our
Community fundraising initiatives.
We are looking for people to be involved in these events, to
help us put our ideas into practice and bring their own ideas along too! Help raise the much needed funds locally to ensure better mental
health for the people of Somerset.
You could become part of our team, meet new people and have fun! There are also many exhilarating opportunities for sponsored
events.
Fundraising is fun and sociable. Any time or commitment is
greatly appreciated.
How we can help you:
-

We can help with publicising your event, producing and providing publicity
materials such as posters and flyers plus offering ongoing help and support
