Volunteering
Work with us
Turning Lives Around welcomes volunteers from individuals, organisations, and businesses to get involved donating time, expertise or money.
In Volunteering
Turning Lives Around is effective because of the strength and depth of our team and that includes those who give freely of their time and skills. You can help TLA to make a difference by volunteering your time, professional skills and expertise to support our work and make a difference to our clients.
TLA knows that everyone has something to contribute, and we have a comprehensive volunteering policy that allows us to provide training to you if you want to help us make a difference. It’s simple to donate your time or skills. TLA will support you every step of the way through training in health & safety, confidentiality and boundaries.
Volunteering Opportunities
We have volunteering opportunities in both our Beacon Leeds and Sustain Wakefield services. The projects provide meaningful activities for service users who face many 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!
