Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers to facilitate our Verbal Wellbeing sessions. You will be trained to work with our Wellbeing teams across two areas: Children & Young People or Adults & Communities.

Let us start a conversation with you, to see how you can start a group conversation through short stories and characters from literature and enhance the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
