Admin Support Barber Project
The Barber Project seeks to work with barbers to improve their knowledge, skills, and confidence towards suicide and mental health-related conversations. Many barbers are already having these types of conversations with their customers who are African, Caribbean, or South Asian. As a result, in a creative way, this project will help tackle the health inequalities faced by men from these backgrounds.
The service is looking for a volunteer to support the Project Coordinator with admin and research. This opportunity is available on a Monday or Tuesday for a minimum of 1-2 hours per week.
