Why Volunteer?
Everyone has something to offer. Whether you have an hour a month or several hours a week, we’d love to help you find a volunteering role that feels right for you.
Volunteering is a chance to connect with others, build confidence, learn new skills, share your experience and make a real difference in your local community. It can be rewarding, meaningful and a great way to meet new people.
Every volunteer helps us increase our impact, build a stronger, more sustainable organisation and raise vital funds to support mental health across South Powys.
I started helping out on an ad-hoc basis and now volunteer regularly at community events. It’s been a great way to meet people
If you’d like to be part of something bigger than yourself, give back to your community, share your skills and knowledge, or simply try something new, we’d love to hear from you – simply fill out the form.

Fill in the form above, or email me [email protected] for more information.
Welcome Volunteer
Could you help someone feel less alone?
We know that walking into our wellbeing centre can feel daunting, which is why it’s so important to us that each person who comes through the doors is greeted, made to feel safe, and is able to talk if they want to.
Volunteers in this role need a listening ear, a calm demeanour and the ability to be adaptable.
Training in person-centred care, active listening, safeguarding, ED&I and organisational values (amongst other things!) is available.
Mental Elf Volunteer
Our festive fundraiser is back for 2026, and we hope it’ll be bigger and better than ever.
With this in mind, we need all hands on deck to help us plan, organise and deliver this wonderful, community-first event.
Whether you’re good with budgeting, a whizz at social media, or are just looking to join in and make connections, we’d love to have you as part of our events team.
Come along, have fun and support mental health and wellbeing in your local area!
Community Teams
Community is at the heart of what we do, and we’re always looking for ways to better connect with the people and communities we serve.
We want to ensure local organisations know who we are, what we offer and how people can access support. We’re looking for volunteers to champion South Powys Mind in their town, helping keep places such as GP surgeries and libraries up to date with news and services.
We’re also keen to get out to more local community events, such as fayres and open days, and to build better local networks.
