Get involved

Every circle needs people to hold it.

Be Empowered Network is volunteer-led and donor-funded. There is a place for your time, your skills, your organisation or your money.

Volunteer

Our volunteers are the network. We train everyone, support everyone, and never ask you to do something you are not ready for.

Roles we need

  • Circle facilitators: hold a peer support circle, with training and supervision from us.
  • Listeners: respond to the people who reach out by email and message.
  • Speakers: deliver school, campus and workplace sessions.
  • Skills volunteers: design, writing, social media, data, fundraising, events, legal, finance.

What we ask

  • A few hours a month, reliably.
  • Willingness to complete our training and safeguarding induction.
  • Care for other people, and for yourself.
Lived experience, professional background, availability: whatever feels relevant.

Submitting opens your email app with the message ready to send.
