From Passion to Action: Volunteering & Internship Programmes
At Body & Soul, volunteers are the heartbeat of our therapeutic community, bringing energy, dedication and lived experience to every aspect of our work. Across our programmes, volunteering offers a meaningful way to support life-changing care, reach marginalised communities and challenge the systemic inequities that often underpin suicidality. Whether contributing time, skills or ideas, volunteers become essential members of the community, shaping real impact while learning, growing, and connecting with others committed to a shared purpose. Here, volunteering is more than support, it is an act of activism, a bold step towards justice, equity, and a future where everyone’s life is valued.
Join the Community
All Volunteer roles and Internships are designed to provide essential support while upholding the collective community commitment to equity and trauma-informed principles. Every programme is strengthened by ongoing learning and development, giving volunteers and interns access to therapeutic knowledge that builds long-term personal and professional resilience.
Every section of the community requires frontline roles that maintain meaningful contact with members, deliver high quality programmes and ensure everyone receives the time and care they need. We welcome facilitators, creatives, listeners, and coaches to name a few.
Behind the scenes, roles in fundraising, campaigning and outreach keep the community thriving and ensure we reach those at risk of suicide. Internships offer undergraduates and graduates a focused 3-month placement linked to their area of professional study. Like volunteering, internships are integral to all operational areas, providing formative, real-world experience while contributing to life-changing work.
