Volunteer With Us

From day one, volunteers have been at the heart of HERSANA. This is as true today as 6 years ago.

We simply could not reach as many femmes and make such a difference without their amazing support. Each and every volunteer is valuable and together they enable us to change the lives of those in need. By volunteering with HERSANA you become part of this history and join a unique network of staff and volunteers delivering help to Black femme survivors whenever they need it.

Why get involved?

There are many reasons to volunteer and spend your time helping others.

Everyone will have their own reasons to get involved. For some it will be about giving back to their community, others might want to share or develop their skills, and some people may wish to connect and meet new people.

Volunteering can give you a renewed sense of purpose, new friendships and a new outlook on life. Studies have even shown that volunteers are generally happier and healthier than their non-volunteering peers.

No matter what your motivation or background everyone has something to offer HERSANA.

We're a small but mighty team of passionate people who want to end violence against women and girls for good. It's a huge and often tiring task, so we put self-care and wellbeing at the centre of our work to ensure that we're in the best place possible to take on the challenge.
