Positive Help

Behind every positive experience is someone who took the time to listen, support, and care.

The messages in these slides are a testament to the difference our volunteers make in the lives of the people we support.
Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more connected community 💚

💚 The Power of Volunteering at Positive Help 💚

Our volunteers make a real difference every day. From supporting children and families through fun outings and activities, to providing companionship through our Activity Buddy service, their time, kindness, and dedication help create positive experiences and lasting memories.

Every hour volunteered helps build confidence, reduce isolation, and create opportunities for connection and support within our community.

✨ Interested in making a difference?
We're always looking for compassionate, reliable volunteers to join our team. Whether you can give a few hours a month or more regularly, your time could have a meaningful impact on someone's life.

We were delighted to celebrate our amazing volunteers during Volunteer Week 2026 yesterday evening at the beautiful Cellar at the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel

It was fantastic to hear how volunteering has supported people's career development, helped build confidence and skills, and created new opportunities. We also loved seeing volunteers connect, share experiences, and learn from one another, with our more experienced volunteers offering valuable insights and encouragement.

We were especially pleased to hold a mini prize draw and, thanks to Room to Reward, recognise two of our volunteers as Hidden Heroes with a complimentary hotel stay.

A huge thank you to the Kimpton Hotel for their wonderful hospitality and to all our volunteers for the incredible difference you make every day. We couldn't do it without you ❤️
