Volunteering at Grace Eyre
Putting something back into your community
Volunteering helps you contribute to your community and get something back in the process. At Grace Eyre, we greatly value the contribution made by our volunteers. The hours donated to our organisation mean that we are able to provide a range of additional services, greatly appreciated by our users. This support has a special quality and reinforces our core values.
Training
We recognise the added value volunteers bring to our services and therefore provide support, training and opportunities for our voluntary staff members. We are committed to offering volunteers places on both internal and external staff training programmes.
Marilyn’s story
"I’ve been volunteering at Grace Eyre for seven years now. I really enjoy it, that’s why I’ve stayed here for such a long time. There are always so many things going on and there’s never a dull moment. I’ve tried doing other things but it’s being with the people at Grace Eyre and the range of activities that I like the most. I usually assist the craft group but I help out in other sessions too - I find that I learn as much as the others do!"
Toby’s story
"I’ve worked at First Base in the kitchens providing meals for the homeless. I have had experience of being homeless myself and being on the receiving end of services. I like working for Grace Eyre, I am learning how to support people, how to help people solve problems that they may have. I feel part of the team. I get involved in art groups – supporting people to express themselves. I even model for the life drawing myself sometimes (with my clothes on of course!). It’s good to join in and have fun. I’m also getting involved in a project to help people travel independently around Brighton. I am positive about working here – I put a lot of energy into it but get a lot of satisfaction back."
