Alongside the Gateway Services Team, our Welcome Team Volunteers ensure all new and existing Service Users, alongside other visitors, are welcomed into the Wellbeing Centres at Rochdale and/or Middleton.
Our Welcome Team Volunteers offer key support at what, for some, can be a daunting first step towards accessing mental health support and our services, and provide a friendly, familiar face throughout our Service Users’ journeys.
Our Welcome Team Volunteers are a key part of our mission to ensure that people do not face mental health issues alone and can lead their lives free from stigma and discrimination.
