Putting our volunteers at our heart

Without our dedicated volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to deliver our life-affirming services which support and empower our communities.

With over 200 volunteers in roles across the organisation, our volunteers are essential members of our team. We strive for our volunteer team to reflect the diversity of LGBTQ+ communities and we want to help you find the right role for you.

Finding the perfect place for you

We believe that there’s a place for everyone in the LGBT Foundation family. That’s why we change up our opportunities for how you can get involved.

We are currently recruiting for a number of different roles. If you don’t see yourself in one of these roles, get in touch with us and we will chat through your options.

How our volunteers help us

Our volunteers are Helpline Call Takers, Village Angels, Counsellors, Advisory Panelists, Befrienders, Café Helpers, Gardeners, and Group Supporters to name a few things!

There really is a wealth of different things you can volunteer your time to help us with. Where do you see yourself? If you want to get in touch, we’re happy to chat to you.
