ZuluMight you be interested in using your own personal experience of mental ill health in a positive way? If so why not join the Peer Support Volunteer team in providing opportunities for safe social contact and informal support.
People who need some additional support with their mental health can relax, feel accepted and understood, and learn to feel at ease with others.
Peer Supporters are all adults with personal experience of mental ill health. They receive full training and ongoing support to run activity groups. Our peer support reading group pictured is just one example.
To find out more about being a Peer Support Volunteer, please complete the Volunteer Application here:

Next time you buy something on the internet, simply go to easyfundraising.org.uk first, register for an account and go to the internet shop from there. There are over 4000 internet retailers to shop with, including Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Ocado and Waitrose.
Alternatively if shopping on amazon, you can simply go to smile.amazon.co.uk and 0.5% from each eligible purchase will go to the charity of your choice.
This free online course is part of the legacy of the Reboot project, a project funded by The Good Things Foundation and headed by national Mind. The aim is to reduce the fear and confusion around smart devices and digital tools.
As a community, we can all help make simple changes to improve people’s lives.
Don’t worry if you’re not an expert in using digital technology – if you use a smart phone, have ever shopped online, or use emails to communicate then you’re already using your smarts!

– Discover the knowledge you already have
– Learn the importance of sharing your knowledge with others
– Understand how easy it is to make positive changes
