Become a volunteer and join our mission
Our dedicated volunteers are key to the success of Apart of Me. Come and join us on our journey!
Why do we need you?
Apart of Me is a multi-award-winning therapeutic service designed to guide young people through loss and trauma. Many families are unable to access traditional counselling support or find it difficult to address the complicated emotions that come with loss. Our aim is to support them in navigating what they are going through and offer hope for the future.
We are a nonprofit organisation aiming to help bereaved children, young people, and parents around the world. We rely entirely on the incredible generosity of volunteers and donors to enable us to keep helping those in need.
What is it like to volunteer for Apart of Me?
Volunteering with us will give you the chance to play an active role in an innovative and ambitious charity.
What you’ll gain...
-
Purpose - by supporting our cause through exciting work, you'll positively impact the lives of young people. There’s no feeling quite like the one you get from knowing you are helping people who really need your help.
-
Autonomy - you’ll have the freedom to design and lead ground breaking initiatives. We place trust in our people to do the right thing, in the right way.

What do we look for in a volunteer?
The main requirements for volunteering with Apart of Me are a time commitment of around three hours a week minimum and a positive, can-do attitude. As we rely so heavily on volunteers, we need dedicated people who are really invested in the cause. We are a large group working remotely so it is important that you are a team player who is able to keep up with various communications and projects. Previous experience of working for a charity, along with a personal affinity to child bereavement and mental health, are a bonus but not essential.
