Celebrating our Volunteers

"It's time to say thank you poster" for Volunteer Week

In celebration of Volunteers’ Week, Matthew, our Volunteer Coordinator, shares a heartfelt message of gratitude to all our incredible volunteers for their dedication and support.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing team of volunteers who complement and support the work we do at Mary Frances Trust.

They help us support 51 different activities throughout the year both online and face-to-face across our area of work from art groups, guided walks, our football teams and coffee mornings, to peer support groups, groups for bipolar, hoarding, autism, LGBTQ+, men’s groups, women’s groups, and more.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Advisory Group members, who generously share their lived experience of mental health to shape, guide, and challenge us in our coproduction efforts. Their insight is invaluable in helping us ensure our services are truly reflective of the needs of the people we support.

Alongside them, our Trustees play a vital role in steering the direction of our work and upholding our values — thank you for your continued dedication and belief in our mission.

We couldn’t do all of this without your tireless support and help. So on behalf of everyone at Mary Frances Trust, thank you to you all”.

Matthew, MFT Volunteer Coordinator

Portrait of Megan, Co-Production Lead, MFT

Megan joined MFT in January 2025 and looks after the development of our strategic priority for MFT to live and breathe co-production. She also facilitates our Advisory Group, and champions those with lived experience of mental health challenges to improve the way mental health support is developed, reviewed, and delivered.

Megan first learnt about co-production as a Lived Experience Advisor with the Independent Mental Health Network based at Surrey Coalition of Disabled People, contributing her own lived experience to mental health projects in Surrey and North East Hampshire after graduating university.

She has since worked on a range of development projects for Surrey’s mental health and wellbeing support, immersing community engagement and lived experience into research and decision-making. Additionally, she is an alumna for The King’s Fund after completing their Advanced Organisational Development Practitioner programme.

To maintain her wellbeing, Megan is an avid reader, journals, and practices Yoga.
