PAPYRUS

Charity registered in Scotland SC052556

PAPYRUS is the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people. We believe that no young person should have to struggle alone with thoughts of suicide.


Current opportunity

PAPYRUS Champions help us to build awareness of suicide in their local community. They start a conversation with individuals and groups about suicide prevention and let them know what help is available to those struggling with suicidal thoughts. What would you be doing? Presenting to groups; delivering our SPARK (Suicide Prevention Awareness, Resource, Knowledge) talks to groups of 10 – 30 people. SPARK talks are 30-minute presentations that build awareness of suicide and suicide prevention. Face-to-face engagement with members of the public. Attending a range of events to provide information about PAPYRUS and what help is available. Network within your own community to find opportunities to build suicide awareness. Where would you be volunteering? In public places / workplaces / events in your local community. From our regional offices (we have offices in Glasgow, Stirling & Aberdeen). If you are interested please click the ‘apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). You will then be contacted by the coordinator by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow on info@volunteerglasgow.org
