If you are interested in our volunteer activities please get in touch!
The project provides meaningful activities for individual Beacon service users who may face barriers to personal development.
We also give service users the chance to receive 1-1 befriending and peer support from trained volunteers with lived experience.
We need Volunteer Befrienders!
If you would like the opportunity to volunteer with our service users then please get in touch! You will also gain training and valuable experience useful for professional development or career changes.
Please contact kime@touchstonesupport.org.uk to find out more about this unique opportunity to help engage individuals with complex needs. You could greatly help an individual to move forward by providing befriending support and volunteering alongside support workers across the Beacon service.
Please see this link to Beacon service for more information about what we do: https://www.touchstonesupport.org.uk/services/touchstone-beacon-housing/
Please note that this is an ongoing training and volunteer opportunity and the minimum time commitment level would be 9 months+.

Your time and help means a lot to us, and to our service users, so here at Foundation, we show our appreciation through our commitment to:
Foundation is committed to the principles of co-production, where those receiving a service play an active and equal part in planning, changing and delivering the service.
Clients are ‘qualified by experience’ and have much to contribute in terms of:
We cannot realise this ambition without the active contribution of clients as volunteers, as they are experts by experience and, therefore, in the best position to offer effective peer-to-peer support that can truly help to change people’s lives.
