Volunteer with us
Our volunteers play a crucial role in helping us support people living with spinal cord injury. Without them we couldn’t do what we do. So if you’re looking to help us through giving your time, you’re in the right place.
Why volunteer?
With more than 3 million volunteers working in the health and social care sector alone, it’s crucial to helping people get the support they need. Volunteers help us to best deliver our services to those affected by spinal cord injury.
Feel good factor
Research commissioned by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) shows growing evidence that volunteering boosts mental health and wellbeing. In the ‘Time Well Spent’ survey (Jan 2019) the most common benefits volunteers reported were enjoyment, a sense of personal achievement and feeling that they make a difference. Three-quarters of those surveyed say it improves their mental health and two-thirds reported feeling less isolated
New skills and experiences
Volunteering is a superb way of learning new skills – and helps many people build experience for paid-work. It’s also a brilliant way of giving back, switching off, and meeting new people
The number of volunteers in health and social care in the UK is estimated at more than 3 million people, according to research commissioned by NCVO
