Without our amazing volunteers, Better Things couldn’t do what it does.

If you’d like to do some fundraising, can spare a few hours occasionally, or even better, can make a regular commitment on a weekly basis, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re always looking for more people to help with:

Hands-on help with running our activities

  • Support participants to take part in one of our sports sessions

  • Help to keep the community garden area looking great and bringing wildlife to the area

Fundraising

  • Take on a sponsored walking, running, cycling, swimming, or skydiving challenge in aid of Better Things

  • Host a Better Things coffee & cake sale

  • Tell your colleagues about our ‘get your kit on’ fundraising day in February and get them involved

Giving time in other ways

  • Support our forum groups – share ideas and skills with our ‘Keeping connected’ forum group

  • Join our trustees

  • Raise the profile of Better Things

  • Help us to reduce disability hate crime and health inequalities. Follow us and like, comment & share our social media posts

All of our activities are supervised by a Better Things employee (all are DBS-checked) and we have a number of safeguards in place to protect our service-users.

“There’s such a great happy buzz at all the Better Things activities. I enjoy helping out and always leave with a smile on my face”.

Emma, volunteer

“The hard work that goes into, and the ethos that drives Better Things provides tangible and measurable improvements for the people of Greater Manchester. I will always support this charity however I can.”

Tom, volunteer
