As a Support Volunteer, you'll work alongside another volunteer to facilitate the group, ensuring that no one has to do it alone. We also provide ongoing training and support to help you excel in your role.

We are seeking long-term volunteers who can commit to at least a year. Join us for a fulfilling experience of giving back to the community.

• Report the monthly attendance to the Support Coordinator by completing a short online survey
• Have a close working relationship with the National Support Coordinator
