Moving to Change Grow Live (TUPE)
If you work for a service transferring to Change Grow Live, welcome to the team!
We're excited to work with you, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible.
We know you probably have a lot of questions about TUPE, the transfer process, and how it will affect you. You can find lots of information about the TUPE process, and how we will guide you through it, by following the link below.
Volunteer with us
Most of our volunteer opportunities don’t need any special qualifications. We’ll make sure you get all the training and support you need. All we ask is that you're kind, open-minded and passionate about supporting people.
If you've got personal experience of the issues our services help people with, one of your options for volunteering is becoming a peer mentor. Peer mentors support and inspire other people who are starting out on their own journey.
