Men’s Mental Health Volunteering
We can’t tackle the male suicide crisis alone. Men’s Minds Matter is built by people who care and want to make a difference. Your time, skills, and ideas can help save lives and change the way men access support.
Volunteer with Men’s Minds Matter
At Men’s Minds Matter, our volunteers play a vital role in helping us challenge male suicide, raise awareness around men’s mental health, and support men who may be struggling in silence.
Whether you want to give your time, use your existing skills, or just be a part of something meaningful, mental health volunteering can be a powerful way to support others while strengthening your own sense of connection, purpose, and community.

Why Volunteer For a Mental Health Charity?
Mental health charities rely on volunteers to help reach people who may otherwise struggle alone or go without support.
By volunteering with Men’s Minds Matter, you can help us to continue our important work tackling suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and reducing stigma surrounding men’s mental health. Volunteer support allows charities like ours to expand campaigns, engage communities, share potentially life-saving information, and encourage open conversations around mental health.
While volunteering can also provide a sense of purpose and connection for the individual, the greatest impact is often the difference it makes to others who may need support, understanding, or hope.

Mental Health Volunteering FAQs
-
Should I Volunteer If I’m Depressed?
Volunteering may help some people feel more connected and engaged, but it’s important to consider your current wellbeing and avoid taking on more than feels manageable. You should never put yourself or your own mental health at risk in order to volunteer.
If you or a professional decides that you’re ready, flexible or low-pressure volunteering roles may feel more suitable, and professional support should still be prioritised where needed.
If you need support, visit our Mental Health Services page.
