Peer Talk is a regional mental health charity-we are moving to a new venue at Thornaby Community Fire Station in April.
We will meet weekly every Tuesday from 6:30pm to 8pm.
Peer Talk is looking for compassionate Volunteer Facilitators to help lead their support meetings.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others by fostering a safe and supportive environment.

- work in pairs to guide discussions and ensure a welcoming atmosphere
- commit to attending 4 or 5 meetings every three months
- actively listen, provide encouragement, and signpost to further support where needed
What We Are Looking For:
- strong listening and communication skills
- empathy, reliability, and a non-judgmental attitude
- a commitment to creating a safe space for open conversations No counselling experience is required—volunteers are active listeners, not therapists!
