Join our community of volunteers

At Healthy Minds, our volunteers are at the heart and soul of our mission. They're an extraordinary group of individuals who bring empathy, understanding, and a profound passion for mental health.

​What sets them apart? Their own personal experience of mental difficulties makes them experts - they really care and know what projects and services are needed most.  Our volunteers are a tremendous asset driving our work in Calderdale.

Why Volunteer with Us?
​Our volunteers play a crucial role across every facet of our organisation, from group facilitation to administrative support, and even representing our forum. Their contributions are woven into the very fabric of Healthy Minds, and here's why:

Meaningful Roles: Every volunteer position is a meaningful opportunity to make a difference and change lives.

Rewarding Experiences: Our work is rooted in the founding principle of peer support, making each role deeply rewarding.

Genuine Co-Production: We collaborate with our volunteers to co-produce and co-deliver activities, projects, and services. It's a chance to develop real-life skills, boost confidence, and gain invaluable experience.

Support and Training: We provide comprehensive training to equip you for your role, ensuring you're fully prepared for the journey. You'll also receive supervision, covered expenses, and social opportunities within our vibrant community.
