Our goal is to connect potential volunteers with local organisations and offer support to both individuals and community groups to help make volunteering a positive experience and help volunteers make a real impact in places where their time, energy and skills are so desperately needed.
Our Neighbourhood Volunteer Broker - Scarborough
For Organisations
We know volunteers are in short supply with large declines in time given since Covid. We believe that people are out there that want to volunteer but they may want to do it in different ways, less formally or just need some extra support to get involved. We’re here to provide that and work alongside organisations needing volunteers to ensure we find you the right people and support them to get involved. We’d love to add your volunteering roles to our list so we can discuss your organisation with any potential new volunteers. To add your information, just follow the link below to a simple Microsoft form which asks a few questions about the roles and skills you need. Debi will then be in touch to introduce (or re-introduce) herself and get to know you a little better.

For Individuals
If you are thinking about volunteering but aren’t sure where you can make the most difference, where you might be most comfortable or maybe need a bit of support to look at options, apply and undertake any training; we’re here to help you! Our lovely Debi will talk to you about what you’d like to do, any causes that are close to your heart and any help you might need to get up and running. This might be help with an application to volunteer, coming along to visit a few organisations that you are interested in or just working with you to build up confidence to give it a go. We know that volunteering can be really beneficial for wellbeing, giving a sense of purpose and the opportunity to meet new people, but taking that first step is sometimes hard and we’re here to walk alongside you through the process.
We promise this isn’t a sneaky way to get you to volunteer for Mind, it’s all about finding the right place for you! If you’d like to arrange to meet 1-2-1 with Debi, fill in our expression of interest and we’ll be in touch!
