Volunteer with us

We greatly value all our volunteers and work hard to ensure that volunteering with us is a positive and rewarding experience.

If you’re thinking about volunteering but aren’t sure if it’s for you, find out about the benefits of volunteering.

How the volunteering process works

If you’d like to volunteer for us, have a look at the roles advertised on our Volunteering Opportunities page.

Or you can simply contact Matthew, our Volunteer Co-Ordinator, on 07432 510493 or at matthew@maryfrancestrust.org.uk for a general chat to see what is available as our roles do change. If you have a particular role/skill that you would like to offer then please do contact us, as we are always interested in expanding our programme and exploring new options for groups and activities.

Once you’ve found an opportunity that appeals to you, you’ll be asked to fill in our Volunteer Application Form. Matthew will then go through our Volunteer Induction programme. This will give you more information about the charity, our Volunteer policies and Volunteer Agreement so that you know what to expect. Supporting our volunteers is very important to us which is why we offer regular supervision and training. We look forward to hearing from you – feel free to spread the word around you!

Volunteering opportunities

We value all our volunteers for their continued commitment and hard work, which supports all the work we do and really makes a difference.

We’re always keen to hear from people interested in volunteering for us, either to learn new skills, gain experience, boost confidence and socialise, or to share a special talent and give something back. We can all benefit from your involvement! We regularly list our volunteer positions but you can also get in touch and offer your services anytime.

Megan

Delivery and Strategy Lead: Co-Production and Community Engagement (Leatherhead)

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.
