Volunteering
Mind in Camden would not be able to provide the wide range of high quality services without the invaluable contribution made by our volunteers.
We are committed to making the volunteering experience at Mind in Camden a rewarding and productive one.
Among our core values is the desire to effectively involve people who currently use or have used our services in the management and provision of those services.
Each individual has the potential to make a unique contribution and we welcome this diversity.
