Relate West Surrey

Relate West Surrey currently have a fantastic opportunity for a Volunteer Fundraiser to join our team. The perfect volunteer will enjoy forging positive and robust relationships with corporate partners and local small businesses across West Surrey, delivering vital income for our charity.  

The volunteer will also be looking out for other sources of funding to enable us to keep offering bursary help and support to those on low incomes who wish to use our services.

The location of the role is home based and the hours can be flexible to work around the volunteer.

Relate West Surrey is a counselling charity which has provided relationship support to couples and families for over 80 years.

More recently we have added specialist counselling services for individuals, families, young people (10-18 years of age) and children (5-10 years of age). We also have a specialist sex therapy service and a family mediation service for couples who have decided to separate or divorce. We help many people every year to strengthen their relationships and improve their wellbeing.

We offer confidential relationship counselling in 7 Boroughs across West Surrey, including: Woking, Surrey Heath, Spelthorne, Guildford, Runnymede, Waverley and Elmbridge, and we have offices in Woking, Esher, Farnham and Haslemere. We offer both face-to-face and online counselling.

Relate West Surrey offer bursary funding support for clients on low incomes. We are continually looking for funding support to ensure that vital counselling for those on a low income can continue and we rely heavily on the generosity of the West Surrey community to help us achieve this.

Relationship breakdowns can include marital conflicts, sibling rivalry, or parent-child conflicts, creating a hostile and tense environment that is detrimental to mental health. It can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, depression, strained relationships, homelessness, addiction and financial hardship. Our counsellors provide a caring and supportive space to help find a way through any difficulties our clients may be facing in their relationship, helping to prevent further difficulties in their lives.
