Apply to Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Stuart Low Trust!

Stuart Low Trust is a community-based charitable organisation. As our mission to reduce social isolation and empower people living with, or recovering from, mental health challenges continues to grow, so too does our need for talented, motivated, and committed volunteers.

We run our Arts, Nature and Wellbeing Programmes throughout the year, in four terms:

Winter Term: January-March

Spring Term: April-June

Summer Term: July-September

Autumn Term: October-December

For an insight into our activities, you can read our current Spring Term Activity Flyer.

We are now recruiting volunteers to support our Summer and Autumn Term of activities, running from August-December 2026.

If you don’t see a role that matches your interests right now, we still encourage you to apply and let us know what you’re looking for.
