Volunteering

Volunteering update:
Unfortunately, we are not able to accept any new applications to become a volunteer with us at the moment. This situation will be reviewed in 2010.
For other volunteering opportunities in Harrow, please visit the Volunteer Centre Harrow
Befriending Services
We rely on volunteers to help support our work to people experiencing isolation and loneliness. You can volunteer at Mind in Harrow for a couple of hours a week.
Befrienders offer support, encouragement and time to listen. You can help someone to develop their interests, get out and about, make new contacts, and above all to feel more comfortable with another person.
We value the experience of mental health service users and welcome people from Harrow's diverse communities to become volunteers.
What volunteering with Mind in Harrow can offer:
- A stimulating training course
- A chance to develop skills
- Regular support
- An opportunity to meet new people
- The satisfaction of helping others
We pay out-of-pocket expenses and have full insurance cover (except for car insurance for passengers).
To apply to become a volunteer ring 020 8426 0909 or email us and we will send you a volunteering pack with an application form. Or you can download everything you need to volunteer from this site:

Counselling Service
Very sadly, our Counselling Service closed in March 2005 owing to a lack for continuation funding and so we are not able to take on any counselling placements. We suggest that you contact Brent Mind to enquire about opportunities with their counselling service.
