Volunteering ACT Projects

We are constantly engaged in running and supporting various projects related to the volunteering sector.

Connections Volunteers

Connections Volunteers links people living with a mental illness with volunteers who provide companionship and support.

Connections Volunteers is a highly successful friendship program which strengthens the capacity of people living with mental illness to function within the community and strengthens the skills and capacities of volunteers to effectively relate to and support people with chronic mental health conditions.

Connections Volunteers is funded by the ACT Government and is managed by Volunteering ACT.
