Volunteer
Our work would not be possible without volunteers. From providing advice to running workshops, there are countless opportunities to get involved. It is a fantastic way to support your community with an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Volunteers get involved in group sessions, workshops, fundraising, case work, interviews, grant applications, digital communications, and more. They allow Praxis to support as many people as possible, all the while strengthening the sense of community that underpins our work.
In addition to being essential parts of the Praxis family, volunteers gain first-hand experience supporting people in difficult circumstances, coordinating projects, and working in teams.
Anyone can be a Praxis volunteer. If you’re over 18 and want to help others, we would be delighted to hear from you. We will provide necessary training and support throughout your time volunteering with us. Let’s work together.
We welcome people with different skills and from different backgrounds. If you are an expert in your field, that expertise will be given space to shine. If you are at the start of your professional life, that eagerness will be put to good use. We only ask that volunteers be enthusiastic and empathetic. We will do everything we can to meet you halfway and make the experience enriching and productive for all involved.
“When the women of the group reach out to me because they need to talk about specific issues or emotional topics and find comfort in our chats, I feel deeply honoured and moved to have been considered a friend for that one moment for people who really need it”
Come and join us!

“I can’t properly explain how much volunteers contribute to the work I have done at Praxis. There have been many times when volunteers have accompanied very nervous people to appointments with solicitors, social services, housing providers, and more. The volunteer support provided to them was invaluable.”
