Telephone Helpline:

This is a very important service providing support and information to GUCH patients and their family and friends. Run from your own home phone via a very simple call divert service at a regular time that suits you, it is a convenient and invaluable way to volunteer with GUCH PA.

Training will be provided and regular supervision under taken to offer each volunteer maximum support for the duration of their volunteer contribution with us. We are looking for both permanent helpline volunteers and also people able to be flexible to cover holiday and sickness periods.

It is possible to arrange for you to have a chat with other helpline volunteers if you would like to ask any questions.

GUCH Unit Liaison:

We are currently looking to establish a more regular presence within GUCH units nationwide and have several opportunities to represent GUCH at clinics and events. If you live close to a GUCH unit and would like to help ensure our information is accessible and up to date, as well as raising the profile of GUCH, please get in touch. The GUCH units are located in: Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London (3 opportunities), Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Plymouth and Southampton.

GUCH News:

The quarterly GUCH magazine - GUCH News - is always looking for volunteers to help keep it informative and enjoyable for its readers. Whether you want to contribute regularly or write a one off article on anything GUCH related, we welcome submissions from everyone. We also have positions within proof reading and editorial roles for those wishing to make a more long term commitment and become more involved with the magazine. If you would like to discuss how to become involved at any level within GUCH News, please contact us.
