Become a Volunteer

Volunteering with the Trust will give you the opportunity to meet new people, build confidence and develop new skills. You will also make a difference to the lives of others. ​There are no special skills needed, just willingness to be part of a valuable service in your local community.

Volunteer in a Shop

Our charity shops in Hastings and Bexhill are powered by the kindness of volunteers who help raise vital funds.

Join our Service Users

​If you or somebody you have cared for have used our services, you could become a member of our Service User Group.

Fundraising Volunteers

Whether you love getting involved in local events or working at a computer - we have roles to suit everyone in fundraising.

Become a Trustee

We are looking for new Trustees to join our board. Over the last decade we have experienced considerable growth as a charity and are now offering the opportunity for you to get involved as we develop further. 

Other ways to get involved

Be an Admin Volunteer
If you want to help in one of our offices or support our services, you could volunteer your admin skills. Administrative tasks include data input, counting donations, welcoming service users and much more.
Be a Volunteer Therapist
Volunteer therapists are integral to the Trust. Voluntary positions are available for those with relevant qualifications in massage, counselling, aromatherapy and acupuncture, to name a few.  ​The work is often community based in service user’s homes, or at St. Michael's Hospice or the Hub on Rye Hill.
