Make a difference by volunteering with us

At Mirus, there are a wide range of exciting volunteering opportunities that you can be a part of. Whether you're passionate about giving back to the community or looking to meet new people, our volunteering initiatives are available in all the regions we support.

Becoming a volunteer with Mirus is a rewarding experience. We have lots of different opportunities for you to choose from – from befriending and socialising to being part of the Board of Trustees, we are sure there is a role perfect for you.

 

Volunteering at Mirus can be a great way to learn new skills, make friends, and give something back to your community! It is a fantastic opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities, autism and mental ill-health. Whether you’ve got a hobby that you would like to share, a particular interest, or simply love having a chat over a cup of coffee, you could be helping someone achieve a life goal.   

At Mirus, we provide support so that people can do the things they love, achieve their goals and live good lives, ensuring that everyone has voice, choice and control – that’s the Mirus way. We work to build networks that encourage people to explore opportunities, discover new interests, develop relationships and enhance their independence.    

Our volunteers are valued members of Mirus, and we work hard to make sure they know it. Although volunteers are unpaid, you’ll feel great knowing that you’re making a real difference and helping to shape an organisation that supports people to do the things they love.
