Volunteer with PSS
Here at PSS, our volunteers mean the world to us and we’re chuffed to bits that they spend their valuable time and energy with us. Their huge hearts, kindness and dedication help us to do the best job for the people we support, and help our organisation stick around into the future.
PSS was built by volunteers back in 1919, and we’ve still got an amazing team of volunteers to this day.
What do our volunteers do?
Whether you’re volunteering directly with the people who use our services or behind the scenes in one of our offices, as one of our volunteers, your time and talent will go towards supporting other people to feel happier, healthier, and live their best lives.
Our volunteers do a huge variety of things – from using their experiences to support others going through the same things (as peer supporters in our Wellbeing Centres), to helping us interview and choose people to become our next Shared Lives carers, through to helping greet new visitors to our head office in Liverpool and giving us a hand with events.
Some of our volunteers work online only, some of them come to one of our offices or centres and work alongside us in person.
