There are so many ways that you can help and we truly appreciate each and every volunteer. By lending your support, you will become a valuable part of our movement and help to strengthen our mission.

Suicide prevention

Volunteer

Become a #hopedealer.

 

EPiC HOPE depends on your commitment to volunteer in order to bring about real change on the ground in local communities. 

If it weren’t for the active participation of countless individuals, organisations such as ours would not be possible.

You can train with us to volunteer at our EPiC HOPE Harbours or even to attend the weekly HOPE Circuits in which we visit local areas where suicide rates are known to be high.

Wigan and Leigh need you. We need more #hopedealers

Be the change our borough needs!

Launch your own EPiC HOPE Harbour

We want to see our EPiC HOPE Harbours roll out all over the Wigan, Leigh, and Greater Manchester boroughs, if not further. There is no substitute for looking someone in the eye and saying, “You matter.”

Do you know of a local space that would be perfect for this? We will provide training, support and literature for you to be competent and confident heading up your own EPiC HOPE Harbour.
