Hi Froggy

Depending where you live, I'd be happy to send you an email with details ofa local hospice in Essex.I used to volunteer there, and there's ateam of volunteertherapists, so it provides good experience in a supportive environment. There's also Middlesex Hospital in CentralLondon - again depending where you live, am happy to provide contact details.

Other than that you might find something on
[link=http://www.do-it.org.uk]www.do-it.org.uk[/link]which is the national database for volunteering opportunties. The volunteering england website will also have details of your local volunteer centre (if there is one near you) who might be able to help with your hunt. Just google 'volunteering england'.

You might also find that organisations are on the lookout independently - for example, local to where I live,organisations for people with mental health issues, physical and learning disabilities and older people, all offer complementary therapies, so it might be worth researching locally to find out if there is any interest. The only thing withmaking approaches independentlyis to be sure of the cover offiered by both the organisationand your own insurance,so that all is above board .

Hope you find what you're looking for.

Certain cancer hospices eg The Mulberry Centre (West Middlesex University Hospital) welcome such volunteers.

If you're near London, Crisis open Christmas recruits therapists, otherwise just ask around any likely organizations. I bet old folk's homes would jump at the chance to have you go round, ditto permenant homeless shelters etc, although you may need security clearance
