'The Trussell Trust makes our clients feel included. The team are good at supporting and encouraging people to be more independent. They meet people where they are at'
Mental Health Services Care Co-ordinator
Our supported volunteer programme provides work-related opportunities for people with mental, social or physical difficulties. We also provide placements for people serving community service hours.
The programme is tailor-made for each volunteer and can include
- Life skills training
- Customer care courses
- Mentoring
- Personal development plans
We provide a safe environment where vulnerable people can volunteer, make a positive difference in their communities and know that they are valued.
We have a range of opportunities within the supported volunteer programme. All our volunteers are assessed and placed within a role best suited to their needs. We try to find placements for as many volunteers as possible but to ensure that each volunteer is cared for individually we have a limit on spaces available.
