TalkingSpace Plus Volunteer

Please note that this volunteer role is currently on hold, and we are not sure when we will next be able to bring on new volunteers. Why not check out our other volunteer roles in the meantime?

“Volunteering for TalkingSpace Plus is extremely rewarding. As I am the first person Service Users see when they attend a course, I greet them with a welcoming and reassuring smile, hopefully putting them at ease. Whilst I am a Volunteer I am always treated as part of the Team and being able to sit in on the course enables me to benefit from the techniques given by the facilitators.”
