The Compassionate Friends is a self-help organisation and we always need volunteers to make sure we can continue to support our members.

Some of the volunteering opportunities include:

  • Supporting or starting a local group

  • Telephone support

  • General administration

  • Social media

  • FOCUS magazine team

  • Events

Please note that support group leaders and telephone contacts must be a bereaved parent, sibling or grandparent. This makes sure they can offer the level of understanding needed to support another person who has lost a child.

Do you have skills you would like to share? Do you have a desire to help other people?
