Volunteer Charity Shop Mental Health Hub

Here at the Mental Health Hub, we offer a 12-month support placement in our charity shop for those over the age of 18 in recovery from ill mental health.   
  

During this time

·       Get training in working in a shop.

·       Learn work skills in a real work environment.

·       Build social skills, confidence, and a network of people with similar experiences.

·       Get help to apply for jobs or other voluntary opportunities.

While there with us they’ll learn new skills, make new friends, and build confidence with the help of our mental health support team.

As this is a supported role, they are never pressured and progress through our retail training programme is at their own pace, deciding when they are ready to move from behind the scenes to a customer facing role.
