Occupational Therapy has reduced my stress around food in a way I thought was impossible. I feel happier in my skin and my life, and I’m hopeful about the future.
Volunteers are an important and valued part of SYEDA and form a central way in which we are able to deliver and develop our services and fulfill our vision, mission, aims, values and priorities.
We aim to be flexible, to support volunteers to achieve their own personal goals, and to work with volunteers to create the most rewarding volunteering experience possible for the volunteers. To do this, we offer:
Full training for the role and a certificate of achievement on completion
Recognition and gratitude for your contribution, and certificates of your involvement and contribution after 6 and 12 months and every 6 months thereafter
Support with job applications, CVs and references
Expenses for out-of-pocket costs of volunteering
Ongoing support and training as needed for the role
A chance to develop your skills and experience
A chance to make a real difference to individuals experiencing eating disorders or at risk of experiencing eating disorders
A chance to help develop and contribute to an important regional charity
There are many ways to support SYEDA and help us continue providing vital services across South Yorkshire. You could organise a fundraiser in your community, make a donation to support our work, or explore opportunities to join our team. Every act of support helps us raise awareness, provide compassionate support and ensure more people affected by eating disorders can access the help they need.
