PAPYRUS Champion

Volunteers raise awareness of suicide prevention and PAPYRUS in a few different ways and we are looking for volunteers who can help with the following:

• Deliver presentations to people in your community, such as schools, workplaces, and faith groups. These are 30-minute sessions called SPARK: Suicide Prevention – Awareness, Resource, Knowledge
• Attend events and run stalls such as Pride, county fairs, wellbeing days, University freshers’ fairs, and fundraising events.
• Write blogs posts and get involved on social media about your lived experiences of suicide and mental health.
• Help us to reach your communities by connecting us with groups and organisations you care about.
• Share new ideas: we’re always open to new opportunities to make our communities suicide-safer.

Volunteers spend time helping us and it’s important that we provide you with the right support, training, and opportunities to meet others.

You will get:

• Suicide prevention training (including our SPEAK training: Suicide Prevention – Explore, Ask, Keep safe)
• Regular check ins with your regional Volunteer Coordinator or another PAPYRUS representative.
• Flexible volunteering opportunities – choose the events that suit you!
• Expenses for travel and food (these can be claimed weekly).
• Opportunities to meet other volunteers in person and online.
• Recognition, certificates, and a Huge Thank You!
