Volunteer With Us

Flexible, neuro-inclusive, and burnout-free volunteering.

We believe volunteering should work for you, not against you. Work on your own terms from home or out in the community. Whether you have one hour a week or more, there is a place for you here.

We take real care of our volunteers. When you join us, you get:

  • Accessible qualifications to build your skills.

  • Support to find paid work if you want it.

  • Fun rewards and events Like our recent Animal Crossing scavenger hunt at the Manchester SeaLife aquarium!

  • Help out at one of our community groups and make a real difference to the lives of Neurodivergent and/or LGBTQ+ people.

  • Good with spreadsheets or words? Help us find funding, write bids, and keep our finances ticking over.

  • Help us reach more people — whether that's online, at events, or across social media.

  • Design posters and leaflets, deliver art activities, or help us create resources that make life a little easier for Neurodivergent and/or LGBTQ+ people.

  • Improve our accessibility, update our policies, and help make sure everything we do is as inclusive as it can be.

What You Get

We love our volunteers. In return for your time, you'll get free socials (recently including relaxed theatre performances and trips to the SeaLife centre), free qualifications, discounted gym membership, and more.
