Organisation description

Walsall, Sandwell, Telford and Wrekin Independent Visitor Service, Change Grow Live has grown from a tiny volunteer-led Sussex-based organisation to a nationwide charity that helps tens of thousands of people each day.

We believe everyone has the potential to support positive change within people’s lives and for the communities in which we live. Volunteering is an amazing way to give, learn and make a difference. We take volunteering seriously and our valued volunteers play an integral role in our services. Volunteering with us has an impact – and not just on the people you’ll be supporting.

Preferred skills

As a volunteer mentor you could be supporting the mentee with various support needs such as claiming benefits, gaining employment, substance misuse, mental and physical wellbeing support and many other needs. We treat everyone as an individual and no two days are the same so being flexible, courteous and being a good listener are key attributes we look for in a volunteer mentor.

Experience gained

Helping people take that next step can be a challenge so in return for your time we will offer you comprehensive training and access to CGL’s training suite. We will also make sure you have a named Coordinator who you will have regular contact and supervision with and make sure you are supported throughout.
