Medway
Our rehab unit in Medway require a volunteer who could work with patients on simple woodwork projects – making bird boxes and other simple projects.
These kinds of activities bring peace and calm to patients, and a sense of achievement when they see the results. You will be volunteering alongside our Occupational Therapy team, but providing the specialist knowledge and skills for the group. Days and times are flexible.
You will be volunteering alongside people who have a mental health diagnosis so you will need to be patient, understanding, and non-judgmental.
Our Chaplaincy team seeks to help our service users, of all faiths. As part of this we run a Mental Health Fellowship, with a small group of service and ex-service users where we informally discuss the big questions of life through a faith and mental health lens.
Could you come and support the service users and chaplain as we debate these topics? You will be required to welcome people to the group and encourage members as necessary.
Our occupational therapy team run simple baking sessions for our patients and need help from someone who can assist with preparing for the session and to help patients during the session.
