Volunteering

Volunteers play an important part within our organisation, helping us to provide a wide range of services and fulfil our mission, whilst bringing their own experience, skills and personal qualities to support our work.

Why volunteer?

Volunteering not only helps us, but it can also help you. Volunteering is proven to be beneficial for mental wellbeing as volunteers can expect to gain:

We offer a diverse and flexible range of volunteering roles. We also provide appropriate training and ongoing support for all volunteers, including an induction programme, annual training events, volunteer team meetings and regular supervision.

If you think this might be for you, do get in touch as we’re always recruiting volunteers.

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.
