Volunteer With Us
Volunteers are the heart of our mission. By giving your time, skills, and lived experience, you help us to support families, share stories, and create spaces where grief can be acknowledged and held with care.
Whether you have been personally bereaved, work in a related field, or simply want to contribute to meaningful change, there is a place for you here.
Why volunteer with us?
Volunteering with Speak Their Name is about more than giving time, it’s about being part of a community that believes in remembrance, connection, and hope.
As a volunteer, you can help to:
- Support bereaved families and individuals in meaningful, sensitive ways
- Help preserve and share memories through memorial projects
- Raise awareness of suicide bereavement and reduce stigma
- Contribute to community-building and peer connection
- Support campaigns that improve understanding and compassionate practice
- Be part of a movement that turns grief into connection and change
Every contribution helps ensure that no one feels alone in their grief.
