Volunteering opportunities

Volunteers are at the very heart of everything we do at Mental Health Innovations and we’re proud to offer a range of digital volunteering opportunities for young people and adults.

Volunteering for one of our services, Shout or The Mix, will give you invaluable knowledge and skills. You will not only support people who urgently need help with their mental health and wellbeing, but you will also be able to support friends, family and colleagues and further the development of your own education or career.

To help children, young people and adults across the UK who need vital support, find out more and apply below:
