One of the main areas of the amazing work that Mustard Seed is involved in revolves around empowering and encouraging some of the most vulnerable in our local community to learn valuable life skills, work related skills and to educate the benefits of healthy eating.
It costs £40 a day* for each individual to access this programme, which is not a lot when you consider the difference it can make to the individuals self confidence and skills base. Helping each individual to become more independent, improving physical and mental health and gaining skills which may lead onto employment.
* this may cost extra for one to one intensive supervision.

Interested in volunteering?

“VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT PAID. NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORTHLESS, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE PRICELESS.” -UNKNOWN

Volunteering can help in so many ways, it is so much more than just free labour. Your generous giving of time allows us as a charity to spend money we are saving in other beneficial ways to further the work we are doing in helping the most vulnerable in our community.
Many volunteers have commented also that there is a personal gain from volunteering. For some receiving an education, contacts, friendships, a sense of worth and acceptance, and being a part of something bigger and better.
We do take volunteering seriously here at Mustard Seed, and the importance of safeguarding is at the very centre of what we do. To be a volunteer at Mustard Seed you would need to be able to support someone who is vulnerable, undergo safeguarding training as a minimum (any posts working with vulnerable adults regularly will also require completing the Skills for Care program) and willing to have a DBS check. We do require all volunteers to sign a volunteer agreement – this enables the position and role to be as clearly defined as possible ensuring consistency and protecting both the volunteer and the charity. We do offer the opportunity to partake in various training courses and you will have a dedicated supervisor who will be able to assist you if required.
Volunteering roles are many and varied, from serving behind our cafe counter to working in our cafe kitchen, helping at the foodbank warehouse to decorating and being an odd job man.
If you are interested in volunteering then please do make contact via our Let’s talk page.

Vodafone Just text giving ceased to exist on the 31st March 2019.
