Welcome to the new South Kent Mind website – Please bear with us whilst changes are completed.
Volunteering with South Kent Mind is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in your local community while gaining new skills, meeting people and being part of a friendly and supportive team. Whether you are looking to build your own experience or simply have a few hours to spare, we have a range of opportunities to suit different interests and availability
You could volunteer as a Secondary Safeguarder in our activity groups, helping to create a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for people accessing our services. This role involves supporting our staff and helping service users get the most out of their group activities, by volunteering at our Folkestone centre to help facilitate a wide range of group activities, from arts and crafts to walks.
If you enjoy meeting people and getting involved in your local community, you could also volunteer in one of our charity shops, helping with customer service, sorting donations and keeping our shops running smoothly. Alternatively, become a South Kent Mind Ambassador and represent the charity at local events, helping to raise awareness of mental health and promote the work we do.
Whatever your skills, experience or interests, your time and enthusiasm can make a genuine difference. We’d love to hear from you and welcome you to the South Kent Mind volunteering team!

Hear what some of our volunteers have to say about their experiences with South Kent Mind.
“As a volunteer with South Kent Mind, I am able to witness first hand through the fantastic work of our staff and the excellent wellbeing activities that we offer – the positive impact that both elements have on our members.”
“I enjoy meeting new members for the first time, getting to know them as individuals and listening to their stories.”
“As our members embark on their individual journeys towards better mental health, I am proud to be able to play just a small part in this process.”
“Having recently become a volunteer for South Kent Mind, I can honestly say I feel proud to be part of such a worthwhile cause. The staff and members have made me feel welcome and I look forward to my time helping with different activities – although my art work still leaves a lot to be desired!”
“By giving up a few hours a week to help others by just talking, laughing, joking, listening, making drinks – it not only makes me feel better but hopefully helps others and I look forward to each session. You’re only here once, and by doing something useful in giving up a small amount of your time, it can make a big difference.”
We are always looking for volunteers who are crucial in supporting us to deliver our services every week.
