Connect, Support, Empower, Volunteer

Be part of something special — join our incredible team of volunteers who help change lives every day.

We couldn’t do it without our volunteers — and we wouldn’t want to.

Our volunteers are at the very heart of everything we do. We simply couldn’t provide the service we offer to the women we support without them. Can you help us?

We currently have around 50 volunteers supporting us — and we’re always looking to welcome new faces to our amazing team. If you have some time to spare and would like to make a difference in the local community, we would love to hear from you.

At My Sisters’ House Women’s Centre, volunteering means making a real difference in the lives of women across Arun and Chichester. From offering a kind word to providing practical or emotional support, your time can bring hope and connection.

We offer a range of volunteer roles, including some specialist positions. Most ask for just 2–4 hours a week, with quarterly check-ins to keep you supported and connected.
