Different ways to become involved with "Off the Record"

Volunteer Counsellor Placements

"Off the Record" delivers a large proportion of its services through volunteers.   Our counselling service has a team of up to 20 volunteer counselors, who come from a variety of cultural and ethic backgrounds.  

We require our counselors to have a minimum of 100 hours counselling training at diploma level.   If you meet those requirements, and are looking for a placement, then give us a call to find out more.

Young Carers Befriending Project

Befrienders provide a valuable support service to young people who are performing the role of carer within the family home and are caring for a parent or close relative who is physically disabled, has learning disabilities, mental health issues, a long term illness or are addicted to drugs or alcohol.

A befriender will provide some valuable respite   a couple of times a month and one to one attention for the young carer and will take them on a variety of day trips, outings and leisure activities that they may otherwise not have a chance to experience.
