More about Support4Volunteering
Support 4 Volunteering helps make volunteering easy. We support Westminster residents who have some mental health support needs and are not confident enough to access opportunities on their own. We accept self-referrals or referrals from support workers.
Volunteering means different things to different people. For some it is an opportunity to pursue an interest, meet new people and help their local community. For others it is a chance to gain valuable work experience without affecting their benefits. We can also help students to find work placements.
In Westminster there are thousands of opportunities to choose from. We can help volunteers assess what skills and experience they have to offer to their local community and also help to find the right opportunity for them.
We work with each volunteer to meet their individual needs. This can range from help with finding opportunities, filling in application forms and attending appointments or just being on the end of a phone for advice. We also provide ongoing support to volunteers and organisations once people have begun volunteering.
For an application form please contact the Project CoOrdinator on 020 7580 9278, or email: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
We can help anyone who wants to volunteer, is a Westminster resident and is receiving an incapacity related benefit.
