Volunteering Combats Depression
Depression Alliance welcomes the research carried out by ICM on behalf of CSV, which states that volunteering can help combat depression and stress. Click here for more information.
Half of the people surveyed (48%) who had volunteered for more than two years said that volunteering makes them less depressed. 71% of volunteers who offered their professional skills and experience say volunteering helps combat depression.
Depression Alliance has been able to achieve its status as the leading UK charity for people with depression largely due to the enthusiasm and dedication of the many volunteers who have given their time over the years. Volunteers make it possible for Depression Alliance to carry out its vital work, whether as Group Organisers, Correspondence Secretaries, Media Case Studies or the team of administration and clerical staff who work so hard to ensure that the many requests we receive for information are answered.
It is thanks to volunteers that Depression Alliance is able to help thousands of people every year.
If you feel you would like to be part of our committed team of volunteers please email Joe - joec@depressionalliance.org.
