What have you done today to improve your sense of well-being? Have you had an impact on somebody else’s well-being?
One way to have a direct impact on your own sense of well-being is to volunteer to work with other people.
Shawmind are currently recruiting and training volunteers in Nottinghamshire who would like to spend time supporting young people. If you are a good listener and have some time to commit to regular sessions we would love to hear from you.
Shawmind deliver a range of mental health awareness sessions specifically for young people, this is an opportunity to support conversations about mental health while providing sign-posting to local services. Shawmind sessions are not therapeutic but rather provide a space to address loneliness and isolation with time to talk to others. Volunteers provide a listening ear and help with information and moderation of activities.
The benefits of being volunteering include:
- Gaining confidence

- Being part of a community
- Learning new skills and
- Having some fun together!
