Volunteering

beYOU is expanding its services and needs new volunteers to cover a wide range of roles. If you have time or skills to spare, please get in touch.

contact volunteers are gay, lesbian or bisexual staff who work directly with our clients, either on the Helpline or weekly drop-in sessions. Full training and support is given, no experience is necessary.

non-contact volunteers assist with the running of the organisation or specific projects. Many skills are useful, including: financial, recruitment, design, technology, PR and event management.

If you think you could help, please email us at volunteering@beyou.org.uk with your name and contact details and someone will get right back to you.

What happens next?

Once your information has been received we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible. However as we are only a small, volunteer run organisation and there sometimes can be a delay.

The usual process for both kinds of volunteers is an interview, followed by training, three days for contact volunteering, and one day for non-contact volunteers.

Contact volunteers will then undertake a course of supervised 'listening-ins and answerings' before being appointed by the management committee.

All volunteers are expect to attend four quartlerly training days a year.
