Our Trustee, Ellen, talks about how she has found joining our Board of Trustees.

How Giving Back Supports Your Mental Wellbeing

Volunteering isn’t just a gift to the community—it’s also a powerful investment in your own wellbeing. Many trustees tell us that contributing to a meaningful cause gives them a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper feeling of connection.

Here are some of the ways becoming a trustee can support your own mental health:

🌼 A stronger sense of purpose

Life transitions—retirement, career changes, or simply wanting to do more—can leave people wondering what comes next. Taking on a trustee role brings focus, structure, and the rewarding feeling of making a real difference.

🤝 Social connection and belonging

Being part of a board means joining a team of people who share your values and passion for supporting young people. That sense of community can reduce feelings of isolation and increase emotional wellbeing.

🧠 Keeping your mind active

Engaging with new challenges, strategic thinking, and meaningful discussion helps keep the mind stimulated, which many people find boosts confidence and overall mood.

💙 The wellbeing boost of helping others

Acts of kindness and meaningful volunteering have been shown to increase positive feelings, reduce stress, and build resilience. When you know your experience is helping the next generation, it creates a genuine sense of fulfilment.

By joining our Board of Trustees, you’ll help guide our charity’s direction, strengthen the services we provide, and help build a community where young people feel supported, understood, and able to thrive.
