Volunteering

Sharing your experiences of caring is often one of the most affirming ways of supporting others. If you are able to offer your time and skills and would like to gain experience in the workplace, the Carers Centre Tower Hamlets volunteering scheme would like to hear from you!

All current and former carers are eligible to apply. We accept 10 volunteers each year to help the staff team deliver the Tower Hamlets’ Carers Link Service. The amount of time each volunteer commits to the scheme will vary according to individual circumstances. Strengthening our – and your – connections to our local community is an important aspect of this work.

After completing three months of volunteering, we offer volunteers Carer Mentor Training. Carer Mentor Training develops knowledge and skills in peer support, counselling, health and wellbeing promotion and service experience evaluations.
