Volunteering

Volunteers are at the heart of the service we offer.

They are involved in every part of the network, including:

- Providing our phoneline, email, text and online chat service.
- Our marketing and social media.
- Research.
- Fundraising.
- Training.
- Community outreach.
- Liaising with organisations and businesses.

If you are a member of the LGBT+ community and can spare at least two evenings a month for our helpline service or have time to help with one of the other activities, we would love to hear from you!

Our application form can be found by clicking the link here.

We look forward to hearing from you! If you have any questions in the meantime, you can contact us on info@nottslgbt.com.

Some of the benefits of being a Notts LGBT+ Network volunteer

The chance to learn new skills.
Put your current skills to use in a new context.
Meet other like-minded volunteers and make new friends.
Take part in new social activities.
Network with people from other voluntary and statutory organisations.

“I volunteer mainly to help as many people as possible, yet maybe selfish of me it’s also nice to speak & help somebody. I never knew about such a service, so had to support myself and had nobody else that I could talk to.”
