Volunteering
As a charity Cam-mind is largely self funded and we rely heavily on voluntary support for the work we do.
We are currently seeking volunteers for the following roles:
Befrienders
We are urgently seeking people to become befrienders. Our expanding befriending scheme helps encourage isolated people to regain a social life and be more confident. If you have one to two hours a week to give support and friendship to a service user please get in touch.
We are currently looking for volunteers for the following groups:
Monday Textiles and Art Course 11am–12:45pm
Creative volunteer to facilitate our textiles craft group activities such as fabric painting and patchwork projects.
Tuesday Art Group 11am–1pm
We are seeking two people interested in Art needed to become volunteers in our Art
Group on Tuesday mornings between 11am and 1pm.
No experience is necessary — just an interest in Art.
Sawston Group 2.15–4.00pm
Help needed on Wednesday afternoons at coffee group.
Evening Group 7–8.30pm
Bingo, table tennis, DVD nights, games night — come along — help and have fun.
Friday Arbury Group 10.30am–12noon
Helpers needed for coffee and chat.
Bistro Sunday Lunch Club 12.30–3pm
We are looking for volunteers to help set the tables, welcome diners, serve food, and help to clear up afterwards once a month.
If you can help with any of our groups please contact Hannah

Aside from these roles we are always keen to hear from volunteers interested in the following areas:
One to one befriending
Our befrienders give around two hours per week to offer friendship and support to service users with similar interests to themselves.

Community groups and social events
The majority of our groups and activities are facilitated by volunteers and new helpers are always welcome.
Please see the list of our current groups and activities
Fundraising
Volunteers are always needed for our various fundraising events, and to help with our regular street collections. We are also keen to reveive new fundraising ideas.
Please see more information on our fundraising and events
Trustees and committee members
We would love to hear from anyone interested in getting involved in the management of Cam-mind's services. No specific qualifications are necessary — just an interest in mental health and, ideally, relevant knowledge/experience. Specialist skills in areas such as Human Resources, publicity & marketing, IT, finance, law, property management and supported housing would also be a great help to us.
Please see details of our current board of trustees and management reports
