Volunteer Peer Supporter

We need your experience!

Do you have lived experience of mental distress and have come into contact with the criminal justice system?

Together is a national charity that works alongside people with mental health issues on their journey towards leading independent and fulfilling lives.

Our Liaison and Diversion (L&D) services work in partnership with NHS England to improve the health and justice outcomes for people who come into contact with the criminal justice system.
