They play a vital part in helping us to promote mental wellbeing across the county, and supporting us in the delivery of our services.

Without our volunteers, we would not be able to provide the same level of support to our clients. Every hour that someone gives us means that we can help more people improve their wellbeing.

														Volunteering for Suffolk Mind has helped me gain new skills, alongside helping a local charity to support the local people and area where I live.

														It has been an amazing experience meeting and speaking with people from such diverse backgrounds, each with so much insightful knowledge to share. It has an absolute pleasure to be able to help people when they are in need and I feel privileged to be a part of Suffolk Mind and the fantastic work they do.

														[Suffolk Mind gives me] a sense of helping people who are struggling, supporting them as much as possible and being someone that they can talk to when they need that support.

														I have learned so much while volunteering. Suffolk Mind invests time into ensuring that volunteers are trained for the role and have all the support required. But my development while volunteering has not just been from training sessions and courses, it is from the wonderful people that I have worked with and the fantastic clients I have spoken to on the telephone support line.
